Hi all, I discovered this forum a few weeks ago whilst looking for Mach loop gen and decided to join whilst procrastinating between uni work. Not much to say about myself, been into military aviation for a while but really got back into it in the last two years, triggered by my first visits to Mach loop.

Cheers Paddy. The 37 in my pic is 37558, so it’s quite fitting for this forum!

Hello,
I'm in my mid 60's ex RAF Supplier/Blanket Stacker and avid amateur aircraft photographer. I use Aircraft Tracking Apps and a Scanner to further my interest in aviation.
I was directed to this forum by a good friend up here in the NE who said it's a good place to pick up info on Mil Aircraft movements ie #Blue and #Roma flights and also Mil Exercises ie #Cobra Warrior

Morning All

I'm a bit late on the introduction here, as you can see by the forum name my favourite aircraft is the Vulcan. Having seen my first Vulcan in 69 climbing out of Scampton this followed over the years a passion for this aircraft. Luckily got to visit 617 Vulcan sqn at Scampton in it's operational days, I followed my father into the airforce for 6 years at Marham with Canberra's, Tornados & Victors.

Then spent another 10 .5 years in the aviation sector in the logistics spares section, providing spares for B727,C130,E3D etc. Back now living in Lincolnshire getting to see the Red Arrows & Rivet Joints on a daily basis and using the scanner!!

Hi,

Mil here new member recently returned to the UK after living in Aus for the last 17 years. I am in Troon, Scotland so quite handy for Prestwick. Seen quite a bit of Military traffic since arriving mainly RAF A400s and C17s with the occasional voyager or c130 and transiting overseas AF aircraft mainly USAF and RCAF again mainly transport.

Where I lived previously in Aus -Darwin - hosted a biennial international exercise called Pitch Black with participants from the western pacific and southern asia best milair spotting opportunity i had in Aus, also regularly hosted B52s and USMC deployments with ospreys and various helos.

Permanently here now in Troon and hope to expand my spotting opportunities as lockdown eases.
