Hi,

I set an account up in 2022, but due to the random dice thst life throws, only just been able to 'get off the ground' here.

Based in the 'Middle Bit' of the UK, I have had a long association with aviation and my hobbies reflect that. Amateur radio, airbsnd scanning and ADSB data gathering and sharing.

It was a friend of mine who introduced me to this site, as we both use ADSB program (name withheld in case treated as spam!) and equipment and always good to cross reference data and discuss with other aviation enthusiasts.

I'm still working for my sins, but will try and be as active and proactive here as possible.

Hello! I'm D! Newbie FC, living down in Yeovil Somerset! I work in the aerospace industry & love watching AC flying over! This is all new to me, but I do use FR24! I have to admit I'm a Merlin girl :blush: but I do love love love it when I'm graced with a Chinook flyby (which is not often enough :'( ) Thanks for accepting me :D
