theplasticsurgeon Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 Antonov An2 - based at Staverton for a few weeks. Saw it twice yesterday. Light blue lower, white upper - sounded very throaty. Last week, cycling to work - a pair of C-130s at medium altitude. Very dull drone. Week before cycling home an A400 Atlas, pulling VERY tight turns, must have been about 80 degrees bank. Very impressive, and I saw it turn in both directions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Large helo which is also white and red I did wonder about that. They do look rather similar, especially from a distance. What is slightly odd though is that the main body of the aircraft appeared to be light grey rather than white and it was definitely day-glo rather than red. Well, I say definitely but it was a hazy day and quite early (for me at least!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently checking electricity pylons, I'm told. It did have electricity written on the side in black letters. Unless he's Plod of course.

Pete in Lincs Posted October 24, 2016 Share Posted October 24, 2016 At 3.40 (ish) this afternoon, BAe 146 with a black or dark blue tailfin stooging around over Scampton. An hour later, 7 miles North of there, two Typhoons in loose formation, 3000 odd ft heading South. Ten minutes after that what looked like a BAC 111. heading NNE (ish) up the A15 at about 2000ft.

Biggles87 Posted October 30, 2016 Share Posted October 30, 2016 A couple of hours ago a flock of Gru ( large cranes ) on their way south west for the winter. They are a magnificent sight, usually in large arrow head formations, but this morning they were quite low and circling in a large gaggle. By the time I found a camera they had drifted too far away downwind, missed again dammit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

noelh Posted November 1, 2016 Share Posted November 1, 2016 (edited) The was a formation overflight consisting of two Hunters in the ETPS raspberry ripple scheme, two Sea Vixens and two all white Vulcans. The formation split up and we were treated to an individual display by one of the Vixens. They all landed at the nearby airbase. I thought 'I can't wait to put this on the forum thread. No one can top this.' Then I woke up. Dammit. It was all a dream. But I'm going to post it anyway because it was pretty vivid and I'm sure it would be a dream come true for many of you. I'm really not sure why I dreamt of those particular types as none of them are in my top ten lists. But it was a great dream. Oh well back to the reality of high level vapour trails and the local flying club's Cessna. Edited November 1, 2016 by noelh 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lasermonkey Posted November 6, 2016 Share Posted November 6, 2016 Had a Chipmunk fly over the other day. It got as far as the nearby farm and then proceeded to spend the next ten minutes doing a lovely display of aerobatics before flying back from whence it came.

Rick Brown Posted November 10, 2016 Share Posted November 10, 2016 Mr confused here. Just had a Herc fly over. Nothing too confusing about that, but it had under wing tanks. It was directly above me, so I couldn't work out the exact type, but we have either added tanks to our J's, found an old K kicking around or it was a bally foreigner! Anyone shed any light on this? Granted, it's been awhile since I last worked on Hercs. Rick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
