The information on today LPJL movements page made me smile today and has done for a while, seeing members submit information of specific aircraft coming to LPJL, when they are still flying over Italy, or other European Countries, aided by SBS and or FlightRadar and VirtuelRadar. ;D
When I recall sitting on the balcony at Speke, fpr hours, with a hired Shorrock VHF airband transistor radio, butties and flask, basically waiting to see what arrived. Progress is wondeful but I still miss the smell and sounds of a close up start of a DC3, DC4/6, Conny, Viscount, and many others, far too noisey and smelly to recount.
