Most of the people who go 'plane spotting' are usually ordinary people waiting to collect a family member from an incoming flight. Many of these will wait to be phoned and collect from Departures rather than going to Arrivals and parking. It's much more interesting to go and watch the planes land and take off with an 8 year old than sit in a car park somewhere. Most of the time we hear jet engines, we're either in the plane or the airport. They're very impressive up close in the open. Today, there were probably a lot of flight delays which meant people were waiting longer and would have accounted for at least some of the additional cars you see there.

It looked to me like the Corsa driver didn't take any details from the CLK witness? They might regret not doing that.
