Thanks to Grant Shapps, Yes Grant Shapps MP and head of the APPG (All Party Parliamentary Group on Aviation) for installing an OGN station at BKpark near Harlow. This is great location in that it is in the northern corridor between Luton Stanstead and Heathrow so there is a lot of traffic about. On the very first day PWbkpark was picking up gliders as far away as 60Km at Bicester and PilotAware at 40km. The site will complement Booker, Chiltern Park and Denon when that is installed. Perhaps we should encourage Elstree and Halton to fill in the gaps. Any offers?
Today we tracked a specific Pilotaware equipped aircraft from North London all the way to Coventry as it was picked up by various stations including BKPark, Orwell, Alconbury, Everton, BIG, HusBos, Stoke, Gransden Lodge and Coventry as it travelled en route.
The OGN-R is really coming of age. Thanks to all your continuing support.
Grant really is a champion for GA aviation in the UK and spearheading the mission to make the UK the best place in the world for GA. Sometimes an uphill battle and needs all our support. Well done Grant Top Man
