Pete in Lincs Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 Well these weren't fliers but deserve a mention, and there doesn't seem to be anywhere else to put this. Yesterday heading South on a trailer on the A1 near Colsterworth was a grey/green camouflaged Gazelle. Today on the A46, near Swinderby just South of Lincoln and heading South on a low loader was a Lancaster fuselage. It was partially covered by tarpaulins but I noticed numbers either side of the nose turret, 976 I think? There were also names in white on the nose. It was followed by a Discovery with RAF recovery in dayglo letters on the back. The Disco was towing a trailer with another small fuselage section on it. I wonder if anyone knows where it's from and where it was going to. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr T Posted January 4, 2020 Share Posted January 4, 2020 Fairly unusually for a Saturday, an Atlas came overhead on the way to Leeds-Bradford and as I wrote this has just come over again. First time I have seen anything military for a while practising circuits into LBA 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kiwidave4 Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 Air Chathams is giving pleasure flights from our local drome, Paraparaumu, with their DC-3 'Skyliner' ZK-AWP. An aircraft close to my heart as I spannered on it - including working on the Skyliner conversion in '63. Â It had been in Air Chathams colours but they recently repainted it in the 'proper' NZNAC scheme. Â I had forgotten about it until about an hour ago while out in the garden I heard the distant rumble and had to scrabble from out of the undergrowth to get a glimpse of the old girl heading low up the beach. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abandoned Project Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 In a clear blue sky over Great Blakenham near Wattisham I just saw a Kalitta 747 heading for somewhere secret according to Flightradar24. Don't think I will stop being amazed at seeing the red & gold stripe from the ground. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corsairfoxfouruncle Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 News Helicopter’s from the Chicago networks. Not quite sure why but local GOS map shows road blocked nearby. Im guessing very bad accident or Law enforcement issue. I do have a state prison 2.5 miles south of us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick Brown Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 U2 pottering along at about 10,000' Over Gloucester/Hereford/Worcester boarder. Making very odd manoeuvres! Rare beast around here (that we see....). Not on any of the radar sites I feed. Rick.  2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsairfoxfouruncle Posted February 4, 2020 Share Posted February 4, 2020 Cant see it as its dark but sounds like a Chinook from the Illinois Army National guard. It was low, loud, and not registering on Flightradar24. Took off hot coming out of the local airport 1.25 miles to my south, heading north like theres no tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biggles87 Posted February 5, 2020 Share Posted February 5, 2020 Yesterday at 1600, a Mirage 2000 just north of us heading east, first one this year. Used to see them in pairs quite frequently when we first arrived, not so much any more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Riot Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 Currently over our apartment in Tainan, Taiwan. Apologies for the the terrible quality, they were taken from my phone, but it's a rarely seen subject so I thought worth showing.  Taiwanese Air Force F-CK-1 Cing-Kuo from Tainan AB.      4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biggles87 Posted February 24, 2020 Share Posted February 24, 2020 Over the last couple of days, literally thousands of these. Â They are Grue ( Cranes ) on their way NE Â for the summer. They make a lot of noise, but it is music to my ears as it usually means that winter is just about over. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Des Posted March 9, 2020 Share Posted March 9, 2020 2 hours ago, Teuchter said: . . . . . but an unusual engine noise  Very distinctive and very LOUD , have had ones operated by Cavok fly over crossing the coast heading towards Scandinavia sounding as if they are about to take the chimney out then when checking on Flight Radar discovering that they are way up at the same height as traffic in and out of Aberdeen which passes almost unheard. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speedy Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 We’re visiting relatives in Spalding this week and today F-15s’ have been overhead doing ACM. Very entertaining and I was able to see most of it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lasermonkey Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 A Miles Magister, probably from Old Warden, and a Spitfire which may have been a Mk IX, though it was a way off. Unless AR501 (Shuttleworth's Mk Vc and my usual visitor) has been refitted with the standard wingtips, it probably wasn't her. My first Spitfire of the year, anyway!
