Humberside Air Review
Does anybody know if an online archive of these spotters magazines exists, or any other way of getting hold of copies from 1987-1993?
Thank you.
Thank you.

Re: Ferrari (2024 ) Film
I watched it at the weekend and enjoyed after also seeing poor reviews. The main criticism was of Adam Driver who played Enzo saying he was emotionless, but I thought he played the role of Enzo really well as Enzo himself was reckoned to be quite detached with people and only interested in the succe...

Oh & if you're wondering about the question marks appended to the number of aircraft in some of the formations, and thinking "can this idiot not count?"; in my defence some of the participants would attempt to hit their chosen targets and then egress the range in different directi...

Re: USAF is "planning" to reactivate 20-25 Cold War era airbases in Europe (Rumour)
Upper Heyford, Bentwaters, Sculthorpe - all stuff that dreams are made of. Indeed, Upper Heyford is gradually disappearing, the former domestic site is now largely demolished and there's new housing estates going up in their place. It's gone way past the point of return, in terms of it being an act...

Re: NATO Days Ostrava 2023
Nice to see I know a lot of 'real' photographers don't like airshows because of the back drop but I personally like to see the human interest shots - I imagine how long one waits for that last person to move out of the way while at the same time stressing over the next rapidly approaching self prop...

Re: NATO Days Ostrava 2023
Nice to see the 'New Kids' Helo's mixing it with the (non-flyer?) Hind. A fair repeat of Radom & KB attendees, but good to see a full turnout albeit without what could've well been the last hoorah for the SU-22 & Mig 29. Possibly quite frustrating for all that there were 2 B-52's on the ground at F...

NATO Days Ostrava 2023
A bit of a mixed bag from Arrivals and the Saturday show day.

Re: My Lincolnshire Break June '97 @ Coningsby & Waddo
In contrast to my disappointing Lincolnshire break this week when I failed to clock a single RAF a/c in the skies over the coast (see thread in Mess forum) I've had to roll back down the years to 1997 when I last spent a week in the same area. What a week that was. Down @ Coningsby a 6 jet det of R...

Re: Online Log Sites
I also am looking at online spotting databases - my main requirement is to be able to "personalise" my sightings, for example by adding Squadron, Code and Callsign data.
