Heads up section

Post by MarkBurke8374 » Sun Aug 15, 2021 1:38 pm

Hi. Just a quick question. I can’t get the heads up Uk, non uk, Rch section or the frequency section anymore. I was getting fine now it’s just gone. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. Sorry if this is in the wrong section. I’ve not been on here that long.

Hi everyone!
Been a member here for a little while now but yet to post as everyone else has much more interesting things to say! I've been fascinated by aircraft having grown up under the flight path of Concord and had to stop lessons at school when it went over it was so loud :lol:
Loving finding out about what is up around me in the sky and reading all the super interesting threads on here.

Hi all, newish here... but am on the fb group as well... I live in Herefordshire and get the traffic from Fairford and Brize flying over regularly; also get stuff on route into Wales...have had F15's today, but couldn't see the B1's as they were a bit too far to the east of me. Have been generally interested in military aviation all my life, but have fairly recently got back into the photography side of things :-) and working in IT, and enjoying to fiddle, i have been into the virtual radar tracking side of things for a few years too.

Hi. Thanks for activating my account. Long time lurker, mostly following activities around Fairford as I’m a local. Looking forward to joining in more now! Happy to help with advice re viewing spots around Fairford and Brize Norton as I’m regularly out cycling in the area.

Morning all, new to the forum (recommended from local FB page)
Live about half a mile from Hawarden EGR and would like to know more about the increasing numbers of grey painted things we are seeing here (had 4 Bone routings over here but either dark or complete cloud cover naturally)

Hi , I'm a newer to site , been around for along time spotting , but resurrected spotting again in my late 60s . Been introduced to a spotter friend to flight radar and ADSB for OTT , can't believe how life is so easy now with the technology that is too hand , wasn't about in my previous life , it was hard work , relied on insiders that worked in ATC for deployments and being in the right place at the right time.
I will submit more about me once I have mastered the site , been looking at how to submit a post for a answer , I can't see a drop down or page like this page I'm on now to send . Can some kind person help , might be an age thing
