What's flying over your house? Thread #2

Recommended Posts

Not exactly over the house, but we are on holiday in France at the moment and went to a bird reserve this morning at Teich Le Buch. Saw a fair number of Storks, Egret of various types and Cranes etc. However the reserve is not far from BA120 Cazaux and so treated to a succession of the resident Alpha Jets and Singapore Air Force M346 Masters as well as a Rafale, Dassault Falcon and Mirage 2000. Wife sent a picture of happy MrT to offspring via WhatsApp.

On their way back from wherever they had been heading over Montrose an hour earlier maybe?

 

Join the Army and work weekends.

A Royal Navy Merlin (well, I think it was- it seemed to be Medium Sea Grey all over) flew over maybe half an hour ago, maybe 500ft. I wonder what it's doing in this neck of the woods, seeing as I'm about as far away from the sea as you can get in the UK!

Anyway, quite a handsome beast, the Merlin.

A drone, directly over my house, as pointed out by my boys. I abandoned my dinner and stormed out the door. I spotted a guy in his garden and asked if he was controling the drone directly over my house. 

He said it was. I told him to bring it down now or I would report him. He was taken aback. I pointed out it was illegal. He denied it being ignorant of the law. I was furious, perhaps a bit over the top. 

 

Well maybe I could have been more diplomatic as my wife suggested but I wasn't for diplomacy. 

My youngest son said he'd never seen  me so angry.  Really maybe I should be harder on the kids.👿

To be fair he brought it down. 

I'm actually friends with the chap in Irish Aviation Authority responsible for drones. 

Such power. But I use it responsibly

At 1700, an Armee de l'air Xingu at about 300ft heading east. It's used as a multi engined trainer and they're always low, so I don't know what the students go on to fly, although I have seen low level Transalls in the area.

Yesterday, I was leaving a client's office to se a Beech T-34 Mentor buzzing about over the centre of town.

 

I know there's one or two Mentors flying in Czech hands these days, but I couldn't see it well enough to know which one it was.

A bit late as it was yesterday, but a singleton Red Arrow flew very low overhead, rolled starboard to knife edge, and disappeared at a great rate of knots in a northerly direction along the Derwent valley. A splendid sight!
