dfqweofekwpeweiop4 Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 We've just had a pair of A-10's fly North over MJW Models HQ, perhaps heading for the Otterburn ranges. We've been hearing slow jets for the last few days but not seen them, so this is the first sight of them (now the weather is better!). The usual Tornado flew over last week. thanks Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fewr9fkr9595 Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 (edited) Yeah Two grey A10's here too in Catterick garrison. Real low doing some dive practice over area of catterick/wathgill ranges. Did several loops passing over estate whilst doing runs. set car alarms off we are Close to leeming. Perhaps same pair that was at mjw models as you are only 50 miles north of me. Then a hawk turned up (red arrows type but black) and were all chasing each other. Got some phone pics will put them up in a bit... picture share Edited July 20, 2016 by Tony Oliver Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raven Morpheus Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 (edited) At approximately 18:00 I had an Apache fly over the house I live at, circle round, fly over again, circle round, fly over again, rinse and repeat for 10 minutes. No idea what he/she/they were doing. It was probably no more than 100ft off the deck, certainly lower than those A-10's and at one point it was directly over my head. I could have had a video of it at the point it flew over if I'd have pressed record on my mobile. Doh!!! I can't work out what an Apache would have been doing circling over the area where the house I live at is though? Very odd. We're about 30 miles from Wattisham where they're based, and we're about 20 miles away from Stansted Airport - the only two big "points of interest" nearby that I know of.

RMP2 Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 Not over my house... but 2 pairs (or the same pair twice) of A-10s over Kendal. Been years since Ive seen any in the air, properly goosebumped me they did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meatbox8 Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 Don't know what's going on but the FAA have been very busy over West Dorset this week. Mixed formations of Merlins and Lynx Wildcats pretty much all day, every day. On Monday there were three Merlins and a Lynx exercising off the coast with a warship and what looked like high speed Zodiac boats whizzing around, and quite a lot of activity from FRA's Falcons presumably playing the baddies. Also a lot of Merlin activity in what looks like primer, presumably up from Westland's. I couldn't make out if they were HMA2s or Junglies. To crown it all the Red Arrows went over the house practising that barrel roll manoeuvre. Pretty exciting week all in all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

upnorth Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 (edited) An Austrian Airlines Dash 8 Q400 with one of the main landing gear legs stuck in a partially retracted position. It was in the circuit to land at the airport here in Brno and went around a couple of times with the stuck landing gear while I was visiting a client in the area. It was still flying around when I left the area and I have no idea how things were resolved for it. Edited July 26, 2016 by upnorth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
