AMATEURS TRACKING AIRPLANES & SHIPS

   Without leaving his home near Carp, Steffan Watkins can watch where aircraft carry world leaders and can also track ships on the other side of the world.
   Watkins is one of a loosely knit group of determined hobbyists who track ships and aircraft by their transponders, and share information on who is going where.
   This is presumably how someone shot a photo of Air Force One on a supposedly secret flight this week. An amateur photographer with a long lens caught the distinctive blue-and-white aircraft high over England as it carried U.S. President Donald Trump to visit U.S. troops in Iraq.
