Aeronumerology or the art of Plane Spotting
The Spotter's RestA Plane Spotting site for Aviation Enthusiasts, with a passion for the data.
Back Online!
OK, the site is back. After a not very good experience with my previous hosting company, I have moved the site – technically I have recreated the site as when I advised them that there wouldn’t be a hosting plan renewal – two weeks before it was due!. All the sites including backups vanished into the ether, seems that they were not happy with me.
Downloads.
So the new site will pretty much follow the format of the old site, however I am going to try and cover the costs of the site – which look like they are going to come in at around £400 ($500) a year. How I am going to do that is by selling data, I have a lot of it – collected over 30+ years. As far as the plane spotting stuff goes, that will mostly be for free – not much change there then. But I will be trying to put together sets of data that will be saleable, to cover the cost of the site.
Spotting Shop.
I have set up an Etsy shop, it was actually done because it was convenient – not really any other reason. I will be moving the shop to this site, this will allow me to ensure that the data provided by the site is of the best quality. In order to provide the latest and most up to date data, there will be a requirement to upgrade some equipment that I use. I expect this to be complete by the end of July and have the up to date placed and available for download by then.
The Free Stuff.
The registers will still be free, the Australian, Canadian and US registers will still be available on a monthly basis. Along with some check lists and other bits and pieces, so not really any change there. If anyone finds it useful, there will be a donation box on the download page. So I will have the downloads page available by the end of July, where we will be reducing the range of download formats. However, the data contained in the downloads will remain the same.
