Maybe it’s like Flightradar24 and military stuff doesn’t show up in the same way for operational reasons. Petrus1983 said:

Yeah, I imagine so I'm not sure whether there's a requirement for Marine AIS that's equal to the requirements for ADS-B/electronic conspicuity, either.That wasn't supposed to be a snide comment at you btw!

Starting to wonder if I actually live under the flightpath in Farnborough, having not seen or heard any of this interesting stuff on it's way in or out.
When the ospreys came in for one of the previous airshows, they approached low & slow enough for some of the trees in the garden to sway.
