Good afternoon.
Been a member for 18months, but life got in the way of my plans. So the past is now firmly in the past and l now have the time. I'm based in Ayrshire and have had an interest in aviation since my teenage years. Now retired and have time to meander down to Prestwick. Photography is my principal interest. All the best to you all

Hi all, registered with fc a few months ago but only just got round to reading some of the rules and etiquette. A keen visitor to the Mach loop and visit RAF Valley sometimes. Will probably start uploading photos soon, although nothing too special :thumbs:

Hi All. This is my first post here, and I'm probably not going to put many posts up, as I'm here trying to find some very specific information. I was a design engineer at Dowty Fuel Systems, working on kit for aircraft from Buccaneers up to the Eurofighter. I'm looking for the names of Tornado pilots who flew at air shows. Who is my best contact on this 'site who might be able to help please?

Good evening to all,
My name is Claudio and I'm an Italian aviation enthusiast.
Quite often I travel abroad... Expecially in UK because my country isn't spotter friendly like many others...
Now at my 40s, after years as photojournalist specialized on defence, I'm an employed but I would build my blog just for fun...
Nice to be here and look forward spotting again.
Yours
Claudio
