Planespotting in UAE
Do not do it.
Three British 'planespotters' arrested in UAE for breaching 'national security' - Middle East - World - The Independent Some people should not be allowed out on their own - certainly not abroad ! |
Re: Planespotting in UAE
Why are the Independent running this story again? It was first reported in March by many UK and local newspapers. More anti-UAE propoganda?

I'm sure an article I read a while ago said it wasn't illegal, but then heard nothing else since? |

Re: Planespotting in UAE
There was a case a few years back in Greece. Looney Brit plane-spotters could not understand why Greek Military Intelligence objected to someone taking pics of their air defences. At that time Greece and Turkey were shooting at each other in the Aegean.
Another contingent of Daft Anglos were arrested in a railway station near the Serbian-Croatian border. They were writing down loco numbers in notebooks. I am surprised that more of these enthusiasts do not end up on trial for espionage. Pity the poor consular official who has to explain what has been going on to baffled locals. |
Re: Planespotting in UAE
I see they have been released now, hope they do not start taking photo`s in the airport on their way home ..........
