Not sure if this is the right Forum!
I use Flytecomm to try and get some idea of what's due at Farnborough. Recently the site has changed and now redirects you to Helloflight. Also you don't seem to get any information for Farnborough!!
With the 'old' Flytecomm you had to use the 4 letter ICAO code for Farnborough (EGLF) but I've now found that you must use the 3 letter IATA code (FAB) for the 'new' Flytecomm. Helloflight then gives you at least some info!
The same seems true for other UK airfields (Hurn, Lasham, Brize Norton etc.).
Flightaware hasn't changed.
Hope this is of some use.

If you click on the flight summary, it provides quite a lot of info. It has 17 flights listed for 1/12/09 for example, with their ETAs, which wasn't always the case with the old site.

Flytecomm now only seems to offer movements for US airports!! However, if you go direct to www.helloflight.com and type FAB as the departure airfield you will get the same level of info as the old Flytecomm. Also you can pick up departure info by putting FAB in the 'Origin' box though for some reason this takes forever on my PC! Interestingly for 'real' airports Helloflight gives weird and wonderful flights (e.g. Asiana into Eastleigh!) with aircraft type 'RFS'. Evidently this stands for 'Road Feeder Service' - i.e. a truck! |

People here will think I'm obsessed with Flytecomm and Helloflight- and I guess I am! Over the last few weeks the input and output formats for these keep changing - it's very confusing. And now it's all changed again!
I'm not sure they work at all for Farnborough anymore!! Neither EGLF or FAB produce any results for today but listening to the acft band radio there are plenty of movements. Also a Norwegian Shuttle 737 went into Lasham this morning (they usually show) but nothing shown for EGHL or QLA.
Trying Southampton shows that EGHI works but not SOU!! This is completely different from a few weeks ago when Helloflight first came on the scene and only 3 letter IATA codes would work!
I know these sites are really only intended for US airports but they did give occasional useful info. I'll keep experimenting.
