Corsairfoxfouruncle Posted September 29, 2020 Share Posted September 29, 2020 Not now but yesterday afternoon, while driving near the local north airport. The approach crosses right over the road from behind. Im driving and a bright yellow/gold T-34 flew over me at about 60-70 feet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does appear to be one, though I'm not sure about the Turquoise color ? I always pictured the blue being a bit darker than that unless pre-war. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had breakfast and sat outside in the car. You may have noticed the car. A little black MX5 with a middle age Midlife Crisis sat in it! Pity we didn't meet up, we could have talked archery. Rick.

Filbert_Wang Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 Rather noisy military exercise going on over south Wales today, didn't get shots of everything but managed a few of the pair of Apaches as well as a Navy Merlin. Getting ready for target practice for people breaking lockdown I take it> Sadly missed the Gazelle(?) and Chinook that was flying about at hundred feet or so off the the ground! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biggles87 Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 Last week our local paper had a paragraph telling people of unusually heavy helicopter activity in the area due to a large military exercise. So far- nuffink. Did see a C-130 and heard an A-400 yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Biggles87 Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 Yesterday at 1630 we had a short but fierce squall go through from the west and two minutes later a Mirage 2000 past very low heading west, presumably he’d just flown through it! That’s what I call earning your pay. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teuchter Posted October 24, 2020 Share Posted October 24, 2020 MD 900 Air Ambulance (G-CIOS) flew low over us sounding rough, and then landed a couple of streets away in a school playing field. It's taken off now after about an hour, so presumably not evacuating anyone. Didn't get a pic as it was chucking it down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wellsprop Posted October 26, 2020 Share Posted October 26, 2020 It's been an interesting few days over here near RNAS Yeovilton... These chaps turned up on Friday, for some reason, every time the F-35s turn up to Yeovilton they fly low (~500 feet) over my house before going to Yeovilton (even though I'm a few miles from Yeovilton. This was followed by "unusual" activity on the airfield over the weekend, 846 NAS sent a couple of their Merlins off, I think two 159's went too and a Chinook from 7 Sqn was about. Both squadrons had some "trade" this weekend in the Solent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr T Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 Just had a Typhoon directly overhead at lowish level, from the heading I am assuming a touch and go at Leeds Bradford. First one I have seen for a while. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
