Police and Bristol International Airport are seeking the support of aircraft enthusiasts to work together to ensure the site's safety and security as part of the Airport Watch scheme.
At a special event to be held on Saturday, March 24, 2007, police and Bristol Airport will brief the 'spotters' on activities to look out for to protect the airport from criminal and terrorist activity.
Inspector Chris Ware, in charge of the airport's dedicated police team, said: "There are many members of the public who regularly watch the activities at the airport from vantage points like Cooks Bridle Path.
"We have regular contact with many of them and are looking to harness their knowledge, expertise and enthusiasm so they can be our extra eyes and ears around the airport.
"The briefing will go into detail about the kinds of things we would like them to look out for and what action they should take in response. In return, they will get a preview of future plans for the airport, which they should find interesting.
"Provided the public watch activity at the airport in a legal and safe way, it can only be to everyone's advantage to work together through the Airport Watch scheme."
Anyone who regularly attends the vicinity of the airport is invited to attend the briefing, which will be held in the Bristol Suite at the Old Terminal building at 11am on Saturday, March 24, 2007.
As space is limited, anyone wishing to attend needs to pre-register by emailing Cware@bristolairport.com
