WHAT PLANE IS FLYING OVER WESTON-SUPER-MARE?
Wondering what plane is that, overhead right now? Every aircraft over Weston-super-Mare broadcasting ADS-B appears on the scope above at its true position — airliners, freighters, helicopters, trainers, and the occasional mystery pigeon with no flight plan on file.
The nearest runway is at Bristol Airport, 10 NM out — near enough that Weston-super-Mare watches climbing departures and descending arrivals rather than distant contrails.
Most traffic over Weston-super-Mare is working the nearby airports: Bristol Airport (EGGD), 10 NM away; Cardiff International Airport (EGFF), 14 NM away; MOD St Athan (EGDX), 17 NM away. Arrivals and departures from these fields cross the area daily, along with overflights riding the airways above.
The scope names what deserves naming: military movements, air ambulances, coastguard and rescue aircraft, warbirds, AWACS and tankers, and the occasional whale-shaped oddball all wear their own badges. Search any town or postcode on the main scope to centre the radar on your own location, or pop it out full-screen for a second monitor.
