Hello. Thanks for stopping by the Airport Spotting Blog. This is where I love to bring you the latest news on the world of airports and civil aviation from an enthusiasts perspective.  I try to post information on where to spot, trip reports from airports, news about airlines and routes, and a variety of reviews of products and books to do with civil aviation.

I have been an aviation enthusiast since I was young. Today, I’m an author of a number of aviation books, and regularly write for aviation magazines in the UK and USA. I’m a private pilot and spend a lot of my time travelling around the world on weird and wonderful aircraft and airlines.

If you have a report or some information from an airport that you think would be of interest to spotters, or a trip report, please contact us and let us know!

I am based in North East England, an area with a passionate community of aviation enthusiasts. But I like to report on news and airports from around the world. I have written a number guidebooks on airport spotting which are available for purchase:
