At Sea Posted September 14, 2017 Share Posted September 14, 2017 Spitfire over my house in Somerset about 1600. I didn't catch a very good look but sounded more Griffon than Merlin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyot Posted September 15, 2017 Share Posted September 15, 2017 (edited) Something very loud with props over Rochdale this morning (Thursday 14th Sept).....just above the clouds,....so didn`t see it,...nothing showing on Flightradar..... have a feeling that it could have been at Atlas,.....as apparently one was flying around Hull a short while later and also the Lakes. I`ve never actiually seen one of these yet! Cheers Tony Edited September 15, 2017 by tonyot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biggles87 Posted September 15, 2017 Share Posted September 15, 2017 They have a very distinctive noise, which once you've identified you won't forget. I hear quite a few of them around here but I've only actually seen a couple as they always seem to come on cloudy days. John 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daldroflas Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 (edited) It probably wasn't, but around midday on Friday I was driving on the A590 near the M6 junction when I saw what looked to me like a Fulcrum flying towards lake Windermere. Whatever it was was flying at a few hundred feet in no particular hurry. I'd seen more than a few Hawks and Tucanos in the week we'd spent up there in the lake district and have seen Tornados and Typhoons on previous visits.

HP42 Posted September 17, 2017 Author Share Posted September 17, 2017 Ok weird one. A mate of mine texted me to identify aircraft that had flown over his north west Leicestershire house this afternoon. He said there were two aircraft with what appeared to be twin boom tails. I showed him a picture of a Noratlas and he thought that was similar. I gather there is one flying but two?! He said a jet also flew with it. All sounds a bit bizarre to me. I did wonder if was the pair of Shorts Skyvans with 'twin tails' but he was adamant it wasn't after seeing a picture. Got me beaten...I've no idea!

That sounds like it! I'll send him a piccy of a Vampire and see if it matches what he saw. It's certainly the right configuration -and an accompanying jet to boot, all in the right place.

Biggles87 Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 (edited) This morning at 10.00, a Mirage 2000 heading west at about 250m, followed about 1/12 min. later by another one which I did not see because the trees were in the way, If they were intended to be a pair they were certainly well separated. About two hours later another fast jet ( Mirage 2000 or Rafale )which I did not see as I was indoors.

No veg patch, but we do have some fruit trees which help keep us supplied with jam and chutney. Cheers John 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
