Since 2008 5DME.NET has provided free news, information and current aviation events to readers online. Aviation for those interested in flight, airports and to allow those that cannot or are unable to visit airports the chance to engage with their interests.

This especially applies to those with disabilities where airports are a mamouth task for those wishing to enjoy avaiation. This is a personal interest of mine as I have a disability. So it meant a great deal to me to bring this information to people with similar issues.

Recently, 5DME have become involved in copyright actions for ONE image on our web site out of the tens of thousands of images that were taken over the years.

To have my efforts to keep the news and information coming to you then turn around and cost me personally for the effort is a cost I are not willing to take on. Especially, as I have never charged anyone a cent. If this if proven will come out of my pocket.

In order to remove any future risk, I am sad to say this site is now closed forever. It will remain on Facebook, where the rules are different but I am no longer running this web site.

The personal financial and legal risk is not viable.

So, appologies to those that used this site for news, info and data about aviation in South Austrailia. 5DME has enjoyed bringing this to you. I am sad to remove the site after so many of you actually found our service useful.
