eng Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 (edited) Not quite flying but just down the road! Noticed this EC-130 sitting at Glasgow this morning - Sorry for the poor quality pic, mobile phone pic through the fence, but thought the subject may be of interest.

dfqweofekwpeweiop4 Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 I've just had a pair of Tornados fly past the back of my flat, one at a time about 20 secs apart. That's a good advantage of moving out of a town and a few miles up the road! The irony is that the Tornados were flying much closer to my flat than we could get to the displaying aircraft at the Sunderland airshow! thanks Mike 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gary West Posted August 15, 2016 Share Posted August 15, 2016 Any more information? Im assuming its the a/c that belongs to their test & evaluation unit WD61 based at Manching (I think) - have a look through these Google search options https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=Luftwaffe+test+unit+WTD61+Tornado&biw=1366&bih=614&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwie1ZqGucPOAhVlAcAKHTppDIYQ_AUIBigB#tbm=isch&q=Luftwaffe+test+and+evaluation+unit+WTD61+Tornado Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhantomBigStu Posted August 15, 2016 Share Posted August 15, 2016 A prop plane just flew over quite low, clearly ww2 vintage but not sure what it was, couldnt see any markings, looked a like a a yak9 but it couldn't have been????? Edit might be one of the yak3 replicas with the Allison engine, did sound like a p-40 Finally comfirmed I did see what I thought, was indeed the yak-3 replica Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimbobtheflimbob Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 Finally comfirmed I did see what I thought, was indeed the yak-3 replica I saw it too, but couldn't believe it would be a yak so thought it must be a P40 or spitfire. it was doing tight circles around my house and did a loop. (one of the benefits of being in the middle of nowhere- planes do loops and roles around my house ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flankerman Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 Yesterday - collapsed weather balloon - drifting west from Swindon towards Kemble descending rapidly....... Sorry for the poor image - it was a few miles away at the limit of my lens.... Ken PS - Be interesting to find out where it made 'landfall' - must have been near Kemble 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
