Re: Should elderly drivers be forced to re-sit their driving test?

I totally agree with Raptor 9.Basic eye test and reaction test simple and straightforward.Theres enough elderly people on their own without adding thousands more with rural bus services being run for profit only.I do not fancy the idea of driving down a back road to find a elderly couple walking on ...

Sighted today

While at work near to Kendrew barracks I noticed a low flypast of a AH64 and within 10-15mins of that 2xF15 eagles dogfighting high up and finally a A400 over the top.No serials but nice to see the area still sees military use. :thumb:

Im quite happy to take my ladders and stay a fair distance from the fence,but then im considerate and appreciate other spotters.However there are 6-10 selfish individuals who will ramp their ladders tight up to the fence and say stuff the rest of you.This hobby is being ruined by the same few people...

Hi Peter.
I use your site quite a few times and appreciate the time and effort you put into running it.I wish they made all military aircraft turn their transponders on so we can follow them on your site.But I suppose thats asking for the impossible.Anyway keep up the superb work and πŸ‘πŸ‘ from me.

Hi mate it went over the jet petrol station/Aldi on the roundabout and back again.It would probably be just too far out to see or hear for you .He had it leaning over both times from where I was on Lyvedon roadπŸ‘πŸ‘€πŸ‘

At long last I have seen a F15 eagle flying over here quite low 500-1000ft.Made my day around 11.15am east to west and back again.Just too far out to read off serial and then the Jet provost for Duxford went over. :clap: :clap: Please come again :thumb:
