lasermonkey Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 The Chipmunk that recently did some aerobatics over a nearby field came back for another go on Friday. It was only there for five minutes before rain put paid to that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick Brown Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 Not exactly over my house, but over where I was working at Shobdon on Friday: Â Â Â Â Not great pictures, just using the snappy, in low light, from a distance! Â Rick. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lasermonkey Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 Went for a nice walk around the nearest nature reserve yesterday and saw plenty of siskins, goldfinches and lesser redpolls. We had some good views of a couple of stonechats but best of all, a pair of little owls in the nearby quarry. Â As we were watching the little owls, a de Havilland Leopard Moth flew overhead. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biggles87 Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 Two Alphajets in trail yesterday, haven't seen more than a singleton for quite a while. They must have reached that stage in the syllabus. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bordfunker Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 RAF Hercules very low over Adderbury this afternoon. Â So low I saw him appear from behind a copse, and almost made me swerve off the road. Â Karl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
junglierating Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 Not quite flying but burning and turning two lovely shiny noggy merlins on the line at Westlands....did I just say lovely and merlin in the same sentence... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMP2 Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 For the last few days now there have been multiple little red jets flying over, often dangerously close to each other. They are sometimes making trails of different coloured smoke that surely cant be good for the atmosphere or anything breathing it in - could be contrails? Hmmm? Â Anyway, it all looks frightfully dangerous to me and is costing much of my time sitting in the back yard watching them cavort about in the sunshine. They should be banned!! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lasermonkey Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 Next door's greenhouse.  Ok, that's a bit of an exaggeration, but it has gone for a bit of a wander.  It's definitely in the blowy side around these parts! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McYellowbelly Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 4 (noisy) jets leaving contrails over Stirling, heading SE. Tried to get binoculars onto them but no joy. Typhoons maybe? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eng Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 More a case of flying over my own house! Had a wee trip down to Heathrow for work last Monday and for once the weather over the west of Scotland was quite pleasant, snapped this wee pick looking back towards the city as we climbed out of Glasgow.   Caught a classic Boeing product tucking the gear away departing Heathrow as I made my way back, thought it looked nice in B+W. These beauty's are dwindling with BA but are still much loved by passengers, crew and engineers.   Eng   1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meatbox8 Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 What looks like a Norwegian SAR AW101 has gone over about four times today, West Dorset. Presumably up on a test from Yeovilton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stosh65 Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 4 F-15s flying north-north-west over Dundee this morning. 3 tanks on each so transiting home I assume but flying quite low, about 2000 feet I'd say. Nice to see, we get nothing now Leuchars is closed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr T Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 (edited) Currently there is an Emirates Airbus A380 circling near us, between Leeds and Wakefield. Should be from Manchester to Dubai. Has undercarriage down and according to Flightradar is at about 9000ft. Assume there is a problem and is burning fuel to get down to landing weight. Also inbound to LBA a grey Islander, presumably an RAF one as not showing on Flightradar. Hope all is well Edited March 12, 2017 by Martin T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
