Hi all!

Posting here to say hello (again) - previously an active member of the forum back in around 2010 onwards, but seemingly throughout not using the account as much anymore it's been locked out/deactivated.

So here I am again (mk2) :)

Due to dormant accounts being hacked and also people signing up with multiple accounts to cause mischief or bypass rules. We implemented a cut off. So any accounts that haven't been active within a certain period will be deleted. Over 20k accounts were removed. Welcome back anyway

Hello,

Looking forward to being part of the community. Live in the centre of East Anglia so plenty of military movements around me.

Cheers

Hi All, I'm Roger. Currently we live not a million miles from Dunkeswell in the Blackdown Hills in Devon. I've a lifelong interest in aviation, I started spotting in '76 at LHR and spent many a happy weekend travelling around on the GreenLine busses going to Gatwick, Redhill, Heathrow, Elstree etc. I don't spot anymore but still have an active interest in aviation being a PPL holder. Thanks for all the contributions to the site, I love to see what's going on and keeping up-to-date with movements and developments.

Hi im Scott north West Scotland here. Enjoy military aviation sometimes visit Prestwick when the time allows. Was a frequent visitor of Leuchars from the mid 80s until it's final airshow and was definitely spoiled for choice during those times.
