Hello from County Durham

Post by Hosbabon » Sun Jul 31, 2016 8:19 pm

Hi,

New to the forum but with a long term interest in aviation. Certainly an 'eyes to the skies' kind of guy and enjoying getting to grips with the technology available to identify those high flying contacts.
I also dabble in a bit of scale modelling, and love to hang onto the back of my motorcycle. That in case, a blast around the borders two weeks ago I sighted eagles, A-10's and several helicopters working in the Otterburn - Spadeadam area.
