Nice to see the Spotter Spotting forum is going well :thumb: . Need to get out there and meet you Guys sometime. Guess it will be later rather than sooner, with the way the money is.. My local bases are Coningsby & Waddington. I will let you know when a trip is planned, so you can See Avoid me :lol: :lol: . Last trip was Waddo early last year, where I got a nice cupper @ WAVE. I am trying to get to Waddington Airshow this year, Hopefully I will make it, as my Bro in law wants to go. I will put a photo of Me on this site soon so you can Recognise/Avoid me, when I decide which is My BEST side. :huh: . Oh if you see a Blue Fiesta (reg V140 EEC) with an fighter control sticker in the lower back window, around ASDA Grimsby at weekends, its ME. :roll: .

Take care on those steps, lent on fences,
