Nice RearGunner !! Just got an R5 myself. Looking forwards to playing with it. Great you tube channel by the way!

Welcome RearGunner, you will get heaps of information from this friendly sister. What cannot kit do you use?

The notification came from the ItAF press office so you could ask them directly. Email:

Thanks Blue5 I will give it a go, as am there anyway!

Hello, is it still possible to register for the spotters pass on Friday? I must have missed that?

Thanks Warthog 10

I have just managed to secure a ticket leaving a space before entering first digit of passport for Sunday as per G-CVIX. Thanks all for advice. I am staying in Lido di Ostia, about 8km away up the coast towards FCO, so hoping there will be a shuttle/bus to get me down the road!

I have now checked all of the above, and tried again for Sunday. It is advising that my passport is already registered. Is everybody doing it as two transactions or can you do both days in one go? Thanks everyone for any help.

Cheers, strange too, as I did exactly that, but it just highlighted my passport number for the second attempt, and I have tried several times now. Maybe I will try again tomorrow. Thanks

Is it possible to register for both days please?
Does anyone know if there is a way to do this?
Many Thanks

Your country has the code RED. Sounds like we may not be allowed to go into Belgium? I ...

Thank you Tiger 1

I will check it out in due course

Thank you all. I did venture up to Fairford but alas arrived about 20 minutes after the departure of two "Buffs". I went away and returned in time for the arrival of a U2.

I would post a photo but not sure how to at this stage. Will have to investigate and home!

Once again thanks all

Warthog 10

Thank you for the welcome Paddyboy & Tiger 1

Would either of you or anybody else know if Fairford is likely to be "active" at all tomorrow, as I know Lakenheath is notam'd as closed. Or where can I access notam'd other than when they are posted here?

Many Thanks

Just signed up over last few days having browsed these forums for a number of years now, and hoping now to get more out of it. I'm well into photography and love fast jets so can often be found outside military air bases including Fairford, Lakenheath & Marham in recent times. I love the Mach Loop b...
