How and Where ?

Post by bigjohn » Sat Apr 16, 2011 3:59 pm

Hi All

I was just wondering how people seem to know what is coming in and when at certain airfields ?

Some people clearly work in the industry, as can been seen by the pics they submit, but how do others get their info.

I need all the help I can get as the story below will suggest

A few years ago I went to lakenheath for a bit of spotting on mid week day off work.

As I passed the main gate I could see a fun fair inside but paid it no attention.
I pulled into a deserted spotters car, no a bit confused.
Everywhere very quiet.
Looked through bino's and notice gates closed across taxiway opposite, very strange I thought.

Looked at watch and noticed date..................

Yup you guessed it..................... 4th JULY !!!!

Idiot

Lol

Happy spotting
:clap:

There's always rumours and speculation that follow the military spotting hobby. One of the reasons many prefer it to the civvy side of things and their timetables. Keep an eye on Fighter Control for rumours............ :thumbs:
