Hi all. I went to Compton Abbas yesterday in the afternoon. Flying to and from there from Shoreham I missed seeing about three aeroplanes that were quite close by. The pilot (Cloud69) spotted quite a few going by but I missed them completely when I should have easily seen them. Mind you, the sky was a bit grey and there were showers around so that didn't help either. I was just wondering if any of you find it easy seeing other aircraft close by or not and have you ever though "pheeeew, where did he come from...." etc.......
