Hi All,

Long time spotter and photographer but have moved up to Lewis in the Outer Hebrides so rarely get a chance to get to the bigger bases or airshows, looking forward to getting info on the traffic we get OTT. I'm an engineer on the coastguard helicopters which keeps me busy and satisfies my aviation obsession! Look forward to interacting on the forums.

All the best,

Jason

Hi all,

Longtime reader, recently decided to sign up! Near Oxford so occasionally find myself at Brize Norton or Benson - hoping to catch so visitors to Fairford next time there are some in town!

Cheers!

Hello all,

I have been on and off this great forum for a few year.
I run a Youtube streaming channel, can i post somewhere when we go live at airfields?

I think a number of people do go to the channel from here, as i always get lots of views when things are happening, and i can only put it to places like this.

Please let me know where i can post the live links tor if it ok for me to do this.

Many thanks

Martin

Martin - do you have a delay on your live feed? I share many others’ concern in the RAF that a fatal accident will be broadcast live.

Hello All

Long time lurker, always had an interest but seems to have grown over the last year, I have a 12 year old who is also plane mad which probably helps!

Saw five contrails information heading WNW over Bristol about half five yesterday afternoon, anyone any idea what they could have been?

Hi All,

I have been a member for a while, well signed up some time ago, left some comments on photos and other posts and then my account disappeared! Looking at the rules when signing up it looks like it was deleted as I only posted on photo posts! Anyway I am a keen aviation photographer based in Wiltshire, Fairford is my closest base but have started travelling further afield.

Looking forward to the airshow season with Midlands this weekend, cosford the following weekend and 5 days of RIAT coming soon (as well as a few others I plan to squeeze in.

Hello all,

I am new to this forum. I am an enthusiastic aviation photographer base in the the Midlands, always a 2-3 hours travel from an active airbase, but willing to travel to watch those jets. (RAF Cosford is the closest base to me if you count, but there's nothing happening other than the Air Ambulance or if you are lucky a few Grob Tutor.).

Looking forward to this year Cosford Airshow altough the line up looks a bit weak this year. Hope to see a few more announcements in coming weeks before the airshow.
