The enjoyment from just turning up at an airfield in good weather and waiting to see what flies,priceless.

What is behind the strange markings on the Hind heli? Leftover from an art project?

Taifun, are you coming up to Inverness dalcross airport soon? I hear on the grapevine that there will be some filming soon for the Batman movie at the airport and also a location is being sought for an off airport road landing. Do you have a contact for the location scout? I might be able to help because I fly often above Scotland taking photos for a living.

Well done all involved. I grew up spotting at Blackpool and the sound of the Dart engines of 748s, Heralds and the occasional Aer Lingus Viscount are very nostalgic. (Beatles track Back in the USSR seems to use the sound of a Viscount? )

Under starboard wing, darker patch could be wheel well open.

The heyday of UFO research has gone, magazines have folded leaving a rather useful section in Fortean Times which I recommend having been a subscriber for at least fifteen years. You can read about the refusal of those who believe in the visitor from space theory to accept research which sometimes debunks sightings and explains what caused the illusions.

far more interesting is the causes of the sightings when they reveal more natural wonders of Earth which had gone un investigated.Also the recent release of documents which shows that UFOs were used to explain sightings of secret research aircraft.A cover up.

I am amused and also dismayed when real facts are proven and those who maintain that some sightings were of spacecraft from off Earth origin still stick to their theories.

The discussion of moderaters has no place on this thread, find another thread.
