Another "let's pot everything that goes over" day from home nine years ago. It was quite surreal re-starting a hobby that had lain dormant for decades in the March of 2013. I had still attended various airshows throughout the extended hiatus, Farnborough, IAT/RIAT and others and taken several foreign trips but I didn't spot on a regular basis and hadn't done since around 1979, so I'd actually had about 34 years off full time spotting.
It didn't take long to rekindle the spark though and living as we do beneath trans-Atlantic inbounds and outbounds, the numbers started to pile up pretty quickly and once I "discovered" the various VRs, there was no stopping.
