You won't get access to the Heads-up section until you have (I think) 10 posts. I am not staff but these should be "useful" logs or photos maybe. Any "nice photo" type of posts to boost a quick tally will likley land you in hot water and could lead to a ban by Admin.

I guess this is not advised when you join. Forum rules are here to help get you going:

viewtopic.php?f=6&t=24285

Having said all that - welcome aboard and enjoy.

Hi Nighthawke,

OK, thank you for this info, which I wasn't aware.

Kind regards,
R.

Hi all,

Any ideas which forums to post in to be able to get to the 10 to get into movements?
Cheers

Hello, I’m Daniel and I like planes. I spot at STN and are hoping there is some military activity soon instead of Ryanair dominating the airport

Hi
New to here and understand I need to post an intro to prevent account deletion.
Been monitoring aviation comms for fifty odd years here in North West of Northern Ireland and trying to make contact with gadwall58 to see if he can assist me with a frequency but not able to find him in the member list?
