About my Interests:-
I first started 'getting' into Black Budget programs in 1991 when i
saw the F-117A do its business over Baghdad, Iraq.
From then on, i was poised in finding and researching out the secret
programs that the United States and United Kingdom had under their belts.
Before i even knew about anything that goes on at Area 51, i was already
years into military aviation and this became and still is my main interest.
From Spitfires to Fulcrums, there is always something to enjoy when
being a Military Aviation Enthusiast. Aswell as military aviation, my other
interests are Military Vehicles, Ships and Weapon Systems. In that catogorie
Atomic weapons have always been a favourite of mine.
However you can't be properly into military aviation without being
a military aircraft monitor aswell.
Another hobby and interest is Monitoring military communications and
have been doing this for a number of years. I have several scanners and
receivers for vhf/uhf and hf monitoring and monitor anything from B-2A's
to old classic fighters.
Where i live, background and how to contact me on the net:-
I live in South West England, about 70 miles from Boscombe Down, the
UK's answer to the USAF AFFTC. The base is fairly secret and operations
that go on there are kept in the dark depending what they are.
I live in a perfect place for military activity, living in a dedicated
low flying area for fast jets and other aircraft and also live near dedicated
Air Combat areas and aswell as that, i've also got an air-air refuelling
area above me and two more not far away.
I get to see many test flights out of Boscombe and hear most that go
on. So it gets very interesting at some points.
The only pain about living here is that part of my hobby is so far
away, Nevada. Which means limited visits and research.
Above is a picture taken by myself two miles from where i live on a
900ft hill top, an RAF Harrier GR-7 heads right towards me at 450kts and
suppose to be at 250ft AGL.
smoke fills the air behind it as the pilot Callsign Blazer 01 screams
in towards me....
Noses up slightly as not to hit the antenna i was near.....
Perfect!! a photo of a fast-on-the-deck Harrier. I could actually smell
the exhaust fumes of this jet after it went over...with the plume of smoke
descending on top of me. No Zoom Lense needed! they are low enough without
it! Not 250ft AGL here, more like below 100ft. The noise was superb!
Blazer 01 banks hard, still slightly nose up, as he goes and rejoins
with his flight just one mile apart.
A slight difference in terrain from where i live to the Nevada Desert
but there you go. Alot of aircraft fly in the valley below, especially
Lakenheath based F15C/E Eagles.
Aswell as having my own website for black programs and Area 51 (PX2000 now integrated into DLR) i am also the co-founder of an email group called 'Black Triangle'. It was indeed Black Triangle that i first set up the start of PX2000 named then as Black Triangle Resource. From there i moved on and after having my website air'ed on the radio show coast - coast it became one of the most visited black program sites on the internet.(thanks Art) with 100,000 visitors
I am very delighted to be part of the Dreamland Resort team now and hope the site the very best in the future. It has not become the best for nothing....ALOT of hard work has gone into this site to make it the BEST there is and it will get better and better.
