Nice

The only spotter badge I ever owned just had 1% on it ,and I still have it

For the unenlightened, can you shed more details, is this an old group/club ?

its keeping a watchful eye around the bases, having extra eyes around helps usaf & uk bases by keeping a look out for suspicious activity & reporting it
for this we can get offered tour of base & is very cool seeing them up close, learned a lot & met some really friendly u.s airmen,
many thanks to them

try finding & talking to the local police liaison officer, i think it was pc glover but not sure if he still is. he might be able to help

He isn't there any more, someone told me at the last Base visit. Not sure as well if they are still running spotter watch.

should be some1 still doing it as we had invite this year to go to the hall again but i couldn't go cos of work

Hi guys I have a question, I don't come from the Lakenheath/ Mildenhall Area but would love to visit is there anyone I should contact if I should visit just in case I am looked at suspiciously as a stranger or approached and asked what I am doing here?

Also is there a national scheme like this for other Airfields in the country as all I want to do is watch Aircraft without rousing locals suspicions?

re spotter watchers
hi my nr is 124

hi unknown74, you should just turn up like other people do & watch or photograph or video them when they go up & just chat to people who are around, just be friendly like every1 else & yr be fine
