Morning all. With the holiday over, the volume of traffic is going to increase considerably.
So, in the daily threads, I will be concentrating on the RAF "heavies" and foreign military. However, that does not preclude anyone else from posting what they see - helicopters and others are notorious for not plotting, so reports of visual sightings will be more than welcome.
Cheers,
Bob. |
