[UK-CONTEST] Aircraft Reflection Path Plot

[Rob Harrison]

Hi,

You don't need to spend £499, just use FlightRadar24 or Planefinder.net free 
on the web see http://www.flightradar24.com/  or  http://planefinder.net/ 
Admittedly these won't show you every aircraft, but the majority plot ok and 
it's the larger ones hat'll give you better reflections.
