Company details
Written by the company
BBBRadar is a small desktop flight tracker, designed and built in the UK. It sits on your desk and shows the real aircraft flying near you, live, on its own round screen - callsign, aircraft type and altitude, refreshing every 30 seconds. When something goes over and rattles your windows, you can look down and see what it was. There is no app, no subscription and no account. You plug it in, tell it where you live through a short setup page, and choose whether you want to see aircraft within 12, 16 or 20 km. After that it just runs, and firmware updates arrive over WiFi on their own. Every unit is hand-built and hand-packed in the UK in small batches. Orders ship from stock actually on the shelf rather than from a preorder queue, normally within three working days, by Royal Mail Tracked 48. Price is £35 plus £4 UK delivery. Some honest limits, because they matter more than a sales pitch: shipping is UK only, the device needs 2.4 GHz WiFi rather than 5 GHz, and it is an ambient display for people who like aircraft - not a navigation or safety instrument. I run this myself, so if anything goes wrong with yours, reply to your order email and I will sort it out.

Great fun, good addition to any desk!
A lovely little device, makes sitting at your desk wondering what's overhead much more fun. Ideal for an aviation junkie or just a curious person. Great support from the seller.

What a great gadget comes with clear…
What a great gadget comes with clear instructions on set up and looks lovely on my office desk. Works a treat and even tracks military aircraft after the latest update. Amazing price compared to other flight trackers.

Thanks Gareth, glad you're enjoying it, and that the military aircraft update landed well.
A lovely little bit of kit - get one!
A lovely little bit of kit that is a delightful addition to my desk! Its like being on FlightRadar24 without having to use the app. I can see all the aircraft activity overhead to out to 20kms - great distraction during those boring on-line Teams meetings!
Support is fantastic, infact almost instantaneous.
Highly recommmended.

Thanks Martin! Can't argue with it as a Teams meeting distraction. Glad you're enjoying it.
Massive value for money
Hi , love it I asked Triple B if they where on Trust pilot because there’s lots of scams on media . Did my research and glad I did so happy with it had to buy my daughter one so she doesn’t keep tacking mine . If you’re into planes go for it . What you see is what you get
Wishing Triple B great success it’s a bargain

Thanks Michael, and fair play for checking us out first, that's always wise. Hope your daughter's enjoying having her own!
Excellent product.
Excellent product and an excellent seller. I grabbed one of these a month or so back and it’s a superb piece of kit.
It’s an easy set up, configurable, updates itself and does its job well.
The seller has been on hand for a question or two from me and is friendly and genuinely passionate about the subject and his product.
Highly recommended.

I love this
I love this . It shows all the aircraft in my area on a “real” radar display. Easy to setup and configure and a super talking point for visitors
Takes me back many years to when I used to plot aircraft for real in the Royal Observer Corps

Thanks Laura, that's lovely to hear. Many thanks for the review!
reliable, fun and fascinating bit of kit
This little flight radar is wonderful. I had mine working within five mins of receiving it.
I purchased two as they're very reasonably priced and they arrived within two days, well packaged.
It's a really fun little device; with a very clear screen and the ADS-B transmissions it displays show what aircraft are above you - within a range you set. And it works, perfectly! Great fun to have on your desk and just glance at when you hear or see a plane.
Top Tip: Good Wi-Fi helps but there is no maintenance as once it's set up it just does its thing.
Thanks to Barrie at BBBRadar for a great product and lovely chat via email.
