Excellent effort Vinny94. I find FR24 don't show military, however Planefinder does!!. This is the paid for version of course (£2.99?) and not the Planefinder Lite which is free and full of adverts!. I saw the C-17 doing a few circuits and earlier the Airbus A400-M doing the same. Planefinder is full of military movements recently as they are making the most of the empty skies and quiet civil airports.

Hi there, i'd be very interested in this service as there seems to be plenty of military planes in the air and it seems to be one way of passing the time, tracking the planes that are near us here in the Midlands. Can you confirm which site has the data for military planes please. It seems planefinder is £1.99 per month or £9.99 per year, just want to be sure it is the site you recommend as you quoted £2.99. I wouldn't want to subscribe to a site other than FR24 if it's much the same.
Thanks in advance.

A C17 was circling around Birmingham last week and strangely enough, that one appeared on FR24, but this one didn't. I heard a A330 voyager heading east to Europe the other day and heard the loud rumble from far away and that was on the FR24 as well.
 
I have noticed that Voyagers are on FR24 for the routine training flights over the North Sea and some flights from Prestwick and Akrotiri but never when operating a QRA with Typhoons. I also never track Atlas flights though I do hear them as they descend towards BZZ. My location is quite good for RAF and some USAFE overflights together with civilian inbounds booking up to Honiley and R33.

A good tracker service would be invaluable.
 
Hi CoalPowered. I was hazarding a guess at Plane Finder price, but I believe it is a one off payment, unless they have changed things?. I've had it over 3 years now. Some of their info regarding an aircraft's route is often dodgy though!. Their main advantage over FR24 is that most aircraft of significance carry an I.D. tag. Very useful while the military are visiting. Otherwise FR24 in my opinion is superior.

Thank you for your help and thanks to GliderPilot too for the input.
 
Hello everyone I hope you are keeping safe & doing well...

Someone has said to me that next week we are expecting a heavy aircraft. Not sure what he means if we are getting more MNG, another cargo aircraft or reqatration flights like we've seen at Manchester with the Kuwait 777s. If you guys have any info on this it would be helpful.

& Don't worry i don't plan to go to BHX to catch it. I am hoping runway 15 is in use, it flies over Walsall & the weather is clear.
 
For clarity, when in an airport page, FR24 normally lists those aircraft on ground together with arrivals and departures, all subject to disclaimer and information provided. Thank you Kevin for trying to help.

i must be a lunatic. Friday 25th Sept will see me doing a daytrip that involves me leaving my flat in Manchester at 1am and not getting back home until after midnight. All because I'm doing a Loch Ness and Scottish Highlands trip.... out of Glasgow

For some weird reason, my days off work tend to involve being out of my flat by 5am and not getting back until 10pm. Back to work and the regular "fix" of 7.40am to 7.15pm hours
