lasermonkey Posted September 11, 2016 Share Posted September 11, 2016 A jet of some description, very low, heading west, away from Duxford. Despite scrambling from my seat, I wasn't fast enough to see it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stosh65 Posted September 11, 2016 Share Posted September 11, 2016 Chinooks, Chinooks everywhere. Nice change from the normal light aircraft pleasure flying out of Dundee airport. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suddensky Posted September 11, 2016 Share Posted September 11, 2016 This afternoon, out in the fields by Vicarage Wood, Penn; a staffel of red kites at about 50 ft, a couple of hundred feet above them, a trio of WWI fighters, I'm guessing an S.E.5, a Fokker triplane, and A. N. Other. And a few thousand feet above them, a BA 380 climbing out of LHR. Would have made a fantastic photo. But the dog and I enjoyed it anyway.

lasermonkey Posted September 11, 2016 Share Posted September 11, 2016 Incidentally, I'm struggling with FR24 these days. Up until a moth ago everything was tickety-boo. Now, the page struggles to load and then it updates sporadically, if at all. Google has not been my friend in this matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Brown Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 Not exactly military, but interesting none the less: https://fr24.com/PLC33/aff2d55 Augusta AW169. G-KSST Pretty loud! Trundling round South Worcestershire. Rick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham Posted September 16, 2016 Share Posted September 16, 2016 I am sure there was a Chinook over Edinburgh about 04:20 this morning and then again about 05:20 heading back south. Graham Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graham I'm just outside Edinburgh to the east and I heard the unmistakable sound a of a Chinook flying roughly in the direction of Leuchars (or whatever it's called now) about 2300 on Thursday night.

lasermonkey Posted September 18, 2016 Share Posted September 18, 2016 Just now, a DH82 heading roughly south. About five minutes earlier, a DH82 and DH60 in formation, heading in the same direction. I suspect they're going to Old Warden. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bentwaters81tfw Posted September 18, 2016 Share Posted September 18, 2016 A yellow Gnat, flat out heading East, than back 10 minutes later. Probably from North Weald. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIG X Posted September 18, 2016 Share Posted September 18, 2016 I don't know if this has already been posted in the last 33 pages If not then you should take a look at this... https://www.flightradar24.com/ It will show you what is "really" flying over your house - even if it is at 40,000 ft. Be careful though - it is very addictive - time to get those binoculars out 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bentwaters81tfw Posted September 18, 2016 Share Posted September 18, 2016 By the time I have the page up, that would have landed. Anyway, if he's not in controlled airspace, and without his transponder, he won't show up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Civil & private only on this site I'm afraid - but here in Saddleworth we get very little military these days - being on the direct approach to Manchester Airport. There is a white Huey though that drops "strange white bags" on the moor every few months - fire control maybe??? Back when I was a kid we used to get Vulcans & Nimrods over the house - on the way into Woodford Aerodrome (Avro) - the Woodford air show each year used to be amazing in the sixties & seventies - ah those were the days.

bentwaters81tfw Posted September 18, 2016 Share Posted September 18, 2016 There is always these guys. ADS-B Exchange (5102) If you work though the menu and the filters, you can get military only if you want. Takes a few seconds to page up though.

825 Posted September 18, 2016 Share Posted September 18, 2016 Sitting enjoying an Espresso at Gunwharf Quay at Portsmouth Harbour this afternoon and over flew a Spitfire. No idea where it came from, apart from in over the Solent, but it was a few moments of magic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
