Greetings All

I've been a member for a while now so I thought it was about time I said hello.

I've been going to Airshows since I was very young, in fact one of my earliest memories was going to the Biggin Hill Airshow in the early 90s with a broken arm and getting my cast signed by all nine Red Arrows pilots. Unfortunately when the time came for the cast to be taken off, the Doctor wouldn't allow me to keep it, and I am yet to forgive him for his treachery.

I'm into aviation photography and have been taking it seriously for the last decade or so, so I'm mainly here to keep an eye out for photographic opportunities local to me, as I live pretty close to Fairford and Brize.

Keep up the good work 👍🏻

Dan

Good Morning FC....!!

New to the forum (as of last night) and currently based in Berkshire, not too far from Heathrow. No aviation heritage but my dad served in the Navy for a while. Spent some time mainly in LFA7 but also a stint the lakes a couple of years ago - hoping to drop into Lakenheath at some point for some spotting.

Thanks

Hey All 👋.
Firstly, thanks for the add 👍
I'm Dave, based in South Manchester so reduced to civil spotting to pass the time but 1st love is 100% military, closely followed by balloons.
Hope to post base logs as and when I get chance to get out but that's once in a blue moon and about as often as we see military in Manchester 🤣🤣

Hi All
I'm Ricky, based in the Lake District, LFA17.
I spend a fair amount of time on the fells waiting for and watching military aircraft at low level so I'm really looking forward to getting involved with the FC community.
