Hi, I'm Taylor and live in Newcastle. Fightercontrol has been invaluable in providing info on movements when we've been waiting low level so it only seems fitting that I should join to get that information first hand and provide my own wherever possible

Evening all,
My name is Will and I live just outside the lakes in the North West,
having lived in Ambleside until my early twenties, I grew up with the sound of Tornado's, A10's and C130's,
now rapidly approaching 50 with no kids so my time is my own, there is nothing better than sitting up a hill with like minded folk taking photos of the passing aircraft, just don't tell my good lady I said that :lol:
Hope to make good friends on here, hopefully meet some of you on the hills.

Thanks for the 'add' to FC, gentlemen (and any ladies present). S London based, so unless it's a 'Kings Birthday' job, which allows use of the TfL travel pass, then some kind of hike necessary to see mil...

Evening All, Thanks for accepting my request to join FC. I live in the South East near Gatwick, and only started photographing military aircraft in January. I’ve already got the bug, having been to Lakenheath three times and the Mach Loop twice. Lots to learn and understand !
