Hi all

Hope all is good - I’m Elle and am from Lincoln. I attempt to balance a full time job with seeing the jets flying. Got Scampton which is always running, haven’t seen too much at Waddington, but love Coningsby. Although I hear liking typhoons the most isn’t what most say, I grew up with them flying over where I grew up in rural Lincolnshire :)

Hi everyone. I use a Nikon D3200 and in 2018 I used a Fujiflim from the 1990s. This produces dust spits so don’t be surprised if you see the odd dust spot on some photos. I’m still learning so if you can help please do.

Love all the great Military chat on here, its a shame that my local drome Northolt doesn't quite get it like it did in the old days, the anticipation of getting off the bus at the Yeading White Hart and walking towards the base and never knowing what lovelies could be awaiting you on the ramp, aaah they were the days.

Hi, thanks for letting me join. I am in Rushden, Northants, so mostly just transit flights to be seen from here, but did spot the B2 last summer, and did spot the Tornados tour over Bedford the other week. So i guess with the right info and tracker app there is still stuff to be seen! I remember going to the big airshows as a kid then sort of lost interest for a few years, now getting back into it. Looking forward to browsing the forum further.
