Hi Andy,
Brilliant site!
Look at the difference in air traffic between our areas and London!
Considering all that's going on up there, it's surprising that there aren't more collisions between planes.

Wish I was on one of them going somewhere nice. Travelled widely in my younger days but haven't had a proper holiday since 2004 now.
It's quite addictive watching them actually!

Torquay Airport? I know Torbay quite well and have never seen an airport or airfield there.

No, you just jump out with arm bands on and a Schweppes parasol. The deposit on them is quite expensive, but so long as you return them undamaged you get your £12,000 back.andyd wrote:Me neither Was it a SeaplanePaul G wrote:Fordoholic Nick wrote:Brilliant site this Andy.

I'm the one who leaves all those shoes in the carriageway.

Apparently there's one in Australia, but the pilot appeared to have been flying the wrong way for that!Paul G wrote:Torquay Airport? I know Torbay quite well and have never seen an airport or airfield there.
The flight might take longer than 39 mins from Gatwick too.....

This is an incredible addictive website. Thanks for making me waste so much time, Andy!
The flight paths that some of these planes take is amazing. I'm currently looking at a flight from Istanbul to New York that is flying over Iceland! Is the pilot lost, or what?

I don't look at it that often now. I find Military Jets don't often show up on it, probably as they are too low

I remember watching the Canadian Lancaster on FR24 when it came over to the UK in 2014 - it disappeared from view for a long tome over the Atlantic as it was flying too low to be picked up. I sent the wife a text as it was coming in and crossing the Scottish coast but she wasn't as excited about it as me
