fatfingers Posted May 13, 2018 Share Posted May 13, 2018 RCAF C17 on its way to Leeds Bradford Airport. Apparently there is going to be quite a bit of activity over this way due to a NATO air exercise taking place this week. Regards Steve 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lasermonkey Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 A Spitfire just after lunchtime, being flown quite aggressively. It sounded great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mick4350 Posted May 18, 2018 Share Posted May 18, 2018 Walking home this afternoon and heard a loud aircraft coming in for a landing at our local airport, looked up and saw a C-27 Spartan. There is a fly in on Sunday at out airport in Toowoomba where classic cars and war birds are on the menu. But we are doing PX-2018 in Brisbane instead on Sunday.

Oberleutnant Posted May 31, 2018 Share Posted May 31, 2018 Regularly get a Spitfire over my house which is converted into a two seater and hired by wealthy folk! Get the occasional Mustang and Hurricane in the area too. Seen the Bristol Blenheim which does the airshow circuit in the UK. Seen a Vulcan and Lancaster go past my house in the past. I live on the south coast and these and others used to go past my house on the way to the Shoreham Airshow from the Bournemouth Airshow. Seeing a Vulcan approaching whilst in your back garden is something else. Like an alien space ship. See the Spitfire regularly. In the summer probably once a week and I'm not in most of the day.

Steve Coombs Posted June 1, 2018 Share Posted June 1, 2018 A Ju-52 has just flown over my flat. It was in silhouette, so I couldn't see if it was the Lufthansa one or Ju-Air. Never mind. Nice to see and hear the oldie. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsairfoxfouruncle Posted June 2, 2018 Share Posted June 2, 2018 (edited) Just now a Formation of 3 AT-6’s or SNJ’s there probably her training with the AT-6 based a mile away in Spanish Air Force markings. They fly an aerial demonstration somewhere together and practice here. Will see if i can get photo’s. So theres a local airshow happening. Ford Trimotor and some Texans/SNJ’s and a few other types. Didnt have the $ to get in and close but the Texans were foing formation flying. Three of them and a V-tailed Bonanza which I found kind of funny looking. The guy in the Bonanza must’ve really been pushing it hard to keep up with the big radials. Heres the two best photos i could get from where i was standing.

fightersweep Posted June 3, 2018 Share Posted June 3, 2018 C-47 heading east at low level right over my house in Weston Super Mare. Worthy of a mention because I never, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever see historics in this area....ever! Now if you want to see lots and lots of Brian Air 737s or EZ Jet Airbus A319s, then here is the place to be.....Yawn....Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz 😴 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lasermonkey Posted June 3, 2018 Share Posted June 3, 2018 A few days ago we had a Spitfire overhead. Yesterday the BBMF Dakota flew over quite low, followed later by a Grumman Wildcat. So far today we've had a Dragon Rapide doing circuits, PA474 right over the house at 750ft tops (😍) and a Lysander just a few moments ago. I'm heading out to the garden armed with my bins and a pint of IPA. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
