I don't own this space under my name. I should have leased it while I still could

Either crap propagandists or deliberate disinformation or security stopping an operational aircraft photo?

We have any of that nonsense too. Used to be paranoid about publishing airframe numbers when it was publicly available and every airfield had its duty spotter. Nothing moves, at least in daylight, without being logged, privacy photographed and collated in some magazine etc.
