The 2022 MKAS PhotoComp had a number of excellent photos of current military aircraft movements into RAF and USAF airfields in the UK. This prompted me to decide to shake off last winter's inertia and get out with the camera and lenses. But here comes the dilemma. Where to go because what could be there? The prospect did not appeal of driving to The Hall and The Heath, or up to Marham, only to find I was the only snapper there because everyone else had heard that anything of interest had gone off to "eastern Europe" the day before.
I must admit I am not a great web enthusiast - except for Flight24 now that the NATS have moved the Luton holding stack north to directly over my house! - and certainly not a Facebook or Twitter follower, so therefore wonder what websites are seriously worth following /subscribing to, to get regular up to date news of prospective military movements and detachments, or of photoshoots such as the Harrier one at Wittering mentioned on Tuesday night. I say miltary, since this is my main interest unless some very special military type is due at a "local" airport (LTN, STN and possibly BHX and EMA).
I have no wish to be inundated with multiple emails a day from some website, rather preferring a small number of sources that I can check into a site to see what might be happening.
Any advice and recommendations would therefore be gratefully received from those more in the know of such matters.
. Thanks for those links, very useful to know - especially as it took me ages to find similar sites for railway working timetables etc!
