Hello from Weston Super Mare

Post by peteg59 » Tue Sep 20, 2016 3:50 pm

Hi All my name is Pete and love to get into the plane spotting,i recently visited Bristol (EGGD) and loved it,scanner in hand, was in my element,not bad for a 57 year old...
have had the privilege of flying in many light aircraft,and also some vintage stuff with my friend Andy......but it was great to sit and chill at the airport and watch the bigger stuff arriving and leaving... with my flask and sandwiches lol....next investment for my new Hobby is a pair of decent binocular's and if i can afford it a Nikon P900 camera for them long lasting memory's

PS not sure what bin's to go for, there is so many and being a spectacle wearer as well,so if anyone has an idea please let me know...

regards all Pete Gardner :clap:
