If you are really interested, then go to a local book store and find an aircraft Id book. I am searching for a web site and if I find one I'll post it. If I dont, I am sure some one in this forum would know

Thanks for your trouble Loomex, that is an amazing site. Unfortunately it doesn't have civil aircraft though.

    I did however have an idea. You know the Project AI pages which display the aircraft types with the pictures. I saved the pictures and arranged them with a paint program and printed them. They make really good Identification sheets - I can now sit back and Identifieing the aircraft as we have a barbecue.

I suppose this would make me..........a planespotter......

Whoa, thanks Y2,

     That solves all my problems.... I was basically wanting to find out which airlines and what planes came into bristol so I could get the planes from PAI and add them to the flight simulator to go with my new Bristol Airport Scenery, now I can do that from my comfy seat right here where I am right now. Its an amazing site - you wouldn't happen to know another site where it tells you where each Airline flys to and from, all the airlines sites are practically useless except for KLM and Easyjet.
  -----They must track the ILS at Keynsham and lower there gear over Queen Charlton then.
----- I shall now look out with my binoculars at Barbecue time and know exactly what Im seeing - I've always thought every dash 8 I saw was BA and every 737 was an Easyjet - with the binnoculars I can see there all different, it appears that airlines are starting up every week!!

      Thanks again Y2.

try this site
http://www.bristolairport.co.uk
then goto flight times at the top. it doesnt give actual planes but it will give you something to work with  for flight plans. i will be happy to provide anymore help you need,.
and yeah they lower their gear a few miles past here so must be queen charlton

http://apron.bristolairport.com/
heres that site i mentioned with webcams and apron info, back online so you can see whats arriving all details are there

    That is the perfect sight (apron sight) Y2, Thanks
I have tried the Bristol sight before and found out where easyjet and BA went to but nothing more - I didn't know anything else came inback then.
   Im not sure what some of the Airport abreviations are though I guess a search on Airliners.net should tell me what they are.
     I dont think you can model the flightplans to go on a particular day but Ill see, If not ill just have to pick a day.
One question - the STAD time on the apron timetable list, is that the departures, I think it must be.
        My scenery will be ready soon - Unfortunately I forgot to look at my arial picture so its looking a bit ............ er lets say different to real life, but I think its an improvement on the origional. I was thinking of starting again but Ill see what FS2004's Bristol looks like. It does have the Airlines parking in more realistic places though.

  I have a brilliant book on military aircraft from Sainsbury's but I never really go near book shops - My Sister occasionally goes to the library so ill get her to look for them, but I don't know whether she will agree to picking up a book on planes. She can always tell the person at the desk its for her brother quite loud I guess.

  Fozzer - Were you the one (Hi everyone), if so I guess were even. If not you wont have a clue what Im talking about - Im not mad don't worry. I did however do it with style (if you know what Im talking about).

  Im afraid thats not possible in FSSC   - Shame though, Ill have another check, I wouldn't have thought that the AI would land on it if it was as it was in reall life. Im surprised that the real planes can land on it. Im afraid that levels and bumps in the airfield is not possible to work out with just an arial photo.
  That webcam is great  - If only I could zoom in.
    Do you know of a sight including pictures of the airport, if I had them I would start again - I fact I am going to start again anyway - but the more I have the easier I can place the buildings and things.  I shall do a search an see what I can find.

First, go to www.Jane's.com and establish a login.  After you login, go to the 'Image Search' under the 'Search' option.  Type in the plane you think it is and you'll get pictures of it.  You won't be able to view the full size images unless you pay the  $1500   to suscribe, but you can still fill your need.  You're set!

My suggestion is go get yourself a copy of 'Jane's All the World's Aircraft'  A new one runs a fortune, but a good used one can be had for around $100 US.  If that's too expensive for you, then the Public Library should have a copy in their reference section.  For some reason they never want to let them go out!  You can pick one up on eBay too, if you like, or Barnes and Noble too.  I found my copy of Jane's, 1945 in a used book store and paid $125.00 for it.
