I think location of any plane (or mock-up) for the purpose of spotting / reconnaissance would be more aligned to what the observer would really see during operations, so more likely to be on the edge of a field / between hangars etc.

I can't imagine spotters need to be trained to find planes in gardens, where they are harmless and cannot take-off !

I know a bloke in Romsey with a small mansion and a Hawker Siddley Harrier VTO fighter plane on his front lawn, cost him about a handful of grand he reckoned. He bought it just cos he could and it was available and he thought it novel !

  In fact there was a promotional leaflet came through the letter box today, for sending by RM's parcel post by buying online. There are also options mentioned for having the labels printed at a Collect+ store or at a Parcel Locker. More info at https://www.royalmail.com/.

  Is it? Let's see Farming is a tough gig with increasingly lower returns, if farms have to sell off land to pay inheritance tax it will reduce their ability to survive. Which in real terms could mean more farm land lost and more reliance on imported food which sees money flowing out, not in to the country. But I guess as long as you get cheap food that doesn't concern you 😉 Lol "what about the cars" again Mal... like a broken record.... Governments know that squeezing car drivers for more fuel duty will drive down income from taxes as people switch to electric, which would leave them with a black hole in income. Guess the fuel duty is a fine balancing act tiĺl enough electric cars have been sold to raise tax revenue from their use.

  Hello - if anyone is in need of sofa/rug/carpet cleaning, we have recently had a very good experience with husband and wife team Kate and Vlad. They're a very reasonable cost and the result was great (don't look too closely at the colour of the water that comes out!) Kate's number is 07731 140246

  You can buy your parcel postage (tracked or any other) online from Royal Mail, they will come to your address with the label and pick up your parcel, (no extra charge) alternatively, you can print your label at home and apply to your parcel for them to pick up from you also. The other option is to drop off your labelled parcel to the Royal Mail Delivery Office of your choice.
