harrycatcat1 Posted August 11, 2022 Report Share Posted August 11, 2022 Just sat in my garden with clear skies looking up at planes and wondering where they are going to and coming from. Is there an app that would give that information please? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Minky Posted August 12, 2022 Report Share Posted August 12, 2022 I can remember coming out of the workshop office door and looking up to a pure white jet in a blue sky.Β I checked and it had come from Chicago and was going to Frankfurt.Β Β Amazing to think that there might have been hundreds of people or many tons of freight going overhead like a dot up there. How the fuel in that plane propelled all of that over that distance is amazing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

amateur Posted August 15, 2022 Report Share Posted August 15, 2022 (edited) I loaded ADS B Exchange on the other day, and am now fascinated by the regularity of civilian small plane flights (and now a drone from near Dungeness) conducting what appear to be sweeps of the English Channel just off the French and English coast. I have spotted British, Belgian and Dutch aircraft, but oddly, no French. Any info, anyone? Edited August 15, 2022 by amateur update Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Boggy Posted August 15, 2022 Report Share Posted August 15, 2022 I use an app called marine traffic when walking along the cliffs (North Kent coast) which gives not only commercial vessels but smaller fishing and sailing craft. Quite interesting to find out the cargoes and destinations etc. Tried it on the south coast (Deal/Dover) but unfortunately it doesnβt pick up rubber dinghies ! Thanks for the heads up on the planes app. Will give that a goβ¦ if itβs free. OB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

powler Posted August 15, 2022 Report Share Posted August 15, 2022 Just viewed theΒ ADS B Exchange on a web browserΒ and it great one down side it does not show the flight destination as it works on transponders, but it is very good. I have the flightrader24 on my mobile so best of both worlds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
