Not an aviation fan myself but up here in Lincs we have i believe the only two remaining Lancasters. One @ E. Kirkby airfield which now only taxis & one @ RAF Coningsby which as far as i know is still in flight. When i lived in Tattershall with an ex lady we took her young lad along to see it. I went along out of duty but when it came into land it was so low & going so slowly i was quite taken aback.
   Stood underneath it you could see all the detail.

Looks very interesting, I must fit one of those transponders to the flying saucer 

At this moment, 23:24, a dodgy airways, sorry Ryan Air 737 has just disapeared around the scottish borders. I didn't know there was an airport around there ?.

Hmm, a Jet2 plane has just done the same thing, perhaps the radar doesn't go that far up north.

We live on a main flight path into Birmingham but at 18 miles or so away the planes aren't low enough to cause us any noise probs etc. About 10 years ago on return from a flight to Dublin I did spot my house and local points of interest from the plane window

no offence to richie but i work near Heathrow, and would not want to live here, prefer to be out in the country a bit, more space, better roads, cleaner air

when my parents moved here in 1950 this suburban area near Heathrow was like the country - Heathrow Airport was a good day's picnic opportunity, you could sit near the runways watching the planes, and the airport building was a little wooden hut ..bit different now
