Hi,
My name’s Phil – I’m a master’s student at a university in London. As part of a methodology course that I’m taking I’m conducting a study on the experiences of plane spotters at London Heathrow Airport. Specifically, I’m hoping to explore the following:
• The changing nature and practices of plane spotting (flight apps etc)
• The social and community aspects e.g. enjoying the hobby with others and sharing images and videos online
• The ostracization of plane spotters following an increase in security and surveillance at airports and the closure of observation decks (particularly since 9/11 and anti-Heathrow expansion incidents)
you can read more about it here: http://www.civilianaviation.co.uk/forum ... 36&t=29570
My email is p20@live.co.uk or I can be contacted on here.
Thanks
Phil

Re: Introduction and my plane spotting research project
Hi Phil, I trimmed this version of your message and re-titled it to avoid having 2 topics exactly the same in different places, I have added a link to your original message which remains in the Heathrow section. Hopefully that will get all your responses re your project in one place, I trust that is okay.
welcome to the forum and I wish you success with the project
