No filtering or blocking of certain private and military traffic that the mainstream tracking sites do. Of course aircraft on active strike missions which are operating under emission controls you wouldn't be able to see.

They have changed the platform for this site over the past few months and it's not very user friendly to the casual observer as there are no database or photo tie-ups to tell you who the aircraft belongs to or in fact exactly what it is but you get the mode S address, registration and the aircraft type code to look up externally.

eg: L2T - B350 is a multi engine turboprop, type: Beech King Air 350 and the registration is ZZ419. We know however this is an RAF aircraft by it's registration and is actually a Shadow R1 ISTAR platform which just happens to be based on the King Air.
