Hi everyone

Ive Been into aviation since I was young but the past couple of years I’ve been travelling to bases around the uk and love them all. My nearest base is leeming and is awesome(especially when the Swiss are in town) I usually just get updates from my brother for activity as he already has an fc account but thought it’s about time I made my own.

Morning everyone, I hope you are all well. Introducing myself as required by the rules.

I’ve been an aviation enthusiast my entire life. I’m originally from Edinburgh, Scotland but now live in the North East of England. I’m a keen aviation photographer and have two cameras in my stock at the moment. My trusty EOS6D and my EOSR6. I also have an ADSB setup in my house. Looking forward to contributing to the community.

Hi I'm Robert from The Netherlands. A long time ago I was a regular user of Fightercontrol, but with other forums my participation faded away. But I'm back and hopefully I can keep my interest in sharing information with all of you!

Hi All,

Not really an introduction person but I'm based in South Wales and regularly hanging out at the loop and other low flying places.
