  • N116WG WG30 is at the Offshore Training Centre on Forties Road, in the northern part of Montrose, just up the road from the Montrose Air Station Heritage Centre detailed below. The helicopter next to it is a training mock-up. They also have a helipad you should check on in case they have a visitor using it.




    ARBROATH AIRFIELD

    Spotting Info
    Head northwest out of Arbroath on the A933 and it's on the right. The gliding club are very friendly, but as it's on a military base, you'll have to arrange your visit to 662 VGS in advance so security know you're coming.
