I´ve heard quite a bit of activity in recent years approximately 2 MHz higher than that.

I used a WinRadio to track them down. Great for spotting infrequent transmissions.
I saw the Herc on adsbScope this morning. No position reports unfortunately.

Heard on 6PR this morning that a flight heading to Perth was forced to land in Busselton after a bird strike, no further details, can anyone confirm?

Just had a small single engine plane fly very low heading south over our place north east of Perth in - anyone know what this aircraft might be doing and what the minimum altitude aircraft have to have in the area? We get aircraft over head quite often when aircraft are coming into YPPH from the east but never one this low - thought he was going to land in the paddock and it only just made it over the shed roof and trees! Weird.

500ft above ground is the minimum safe altitude.

or 1000' over a built up area... for VFR aircraft.

What area of perth do you live in BlueandRed? If it's up ellenbrook way it may be the Airforce trainers.

Saw a Spitfire on the back of a truck (minus wings) going through Herdsman/Osborne Park this morning. Looked like perhaps the one from the Aviation Heritage Museum.
