I often use http://www.radarvirtuel.com - it was wonderful when there was the ash cloud.

At the moment it's very slow in loading ... and you may need to move the map to show the UK. But you need to know that not all aircraft appear on this site. It depends on whether the aircraft emit a signal called a squawk because this radar site only picks up aircraft who do. (If you look up 'Transponder' on Wikipedia, it will explain exactly what a squawk is far better than I can!) Lots of factors apply as to which aircraft do appear on this screen, so you'll only pick up a few, but it's still enjoyable to watch!

Hope you enjoy it as much as I do!

Try http://www.flightradar24.com/

Thanks Sunaddict, even better than mine ... off to book mark it straight away!

ah, memories of last summer - wasting hours watching not a lot move!

If you are using Internet Explorer try a different web browser such as Safari or Firefox and see if that helps.
