Morning All,

Just a quick note to say hi ! I'm primarily a photographer and military aircraft are one of my "topics" Unfortunately missed many of the "good old days" but am keen to enjoy the current scene. Based in Norfolk so the Hall & Heath are my local hotspots ;-)

Hope to post some shots but the bar is rather high !

Thanks for the welcome guys, I have a query though, do I need to subscribe to a forum to be able to read posts therein ? The reason I ask is that I seem to be getting "You do not have the required permissions to view or read topics within this forum." for example on the Cobra Warrior General Info section ?

You will have read/write access to all sections once you have made 10 posts on the forum - but take careful note of rule 20 :- viewtopic.php?f=6&t=24285

Ive popped in an out of the hobby since the 70's and am hoping this time as I approach the age of 60 I'll be getting back into it more than I have been in recent years.

Hey all,

New to the forum! Been an aviation buff for as long as I can remember, mixture of military both current and WW2. A bit of an amateur BoB historian with a wealth of books and literature about this most decisive of battles!

In the UK, ripe old age of 52 going on 22!

Will contribute where I can and get involved.

Jay.

Hello
My name is Mike, I am 42 years old and have been a plane spotter for over 30 years. I grew up at Seaking's Koksijde air base. I regularly come to England to spot this one, hopefully you know who I am, see you somewhere.

Hello,

I am Matt Soden, new to this forum but I do run many aviation groups on Facebook.

I like aviation photography on a amateur level, just like to look back on shots!
