Phil32 Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 4 F-15E's in finger four a couple of days ago (actually about a week ago now that I think harder...!). As luck would have it we're right under the Lichfield Corridor, some days they go back and forth every 20 mins or so for hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Battle Posted September 7, 2016 Share Posted September 7, 2016 Not over my house but... I spotted what I believe was a Spitfire disappearing over someone's house (I only saw it for a split second, but it sounded like a Merlin engine) heading south over Oxford earlier today. Any idea what it would be doing/going? I might be mistaken but I think it had invasion stripes, can't be 100% sure though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DannyB Posted September 7, 2016 Share Posted September 7, 2016 i think we had the same 3 spitfires directly over the house, north Tonbridge, heading south. Flying straight and level in a really tight formation. Was a beautiful site in the evening sunset. Sounded like they flew back around 25 - 30 minutes, but I missed them!

bootneck Posted September 9, 2016 Share Posted September 9, 2016 12:15 Burnham on Sea, Somerset; a Merlin in light grey livery with bright red nose and tail, plus 3 large red chevrons on the underbelly. Couldn't see any nationality markings so don't think it was the Royal Navy version. Perhaps a civil/coastguard rescue? I haven't seen one in these markings before; anyone have any photo's? It could be a good theme for a build. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bootneck Posted September 9, 2016 Share Posted September 9, 2016 It could be, although there weren't any nationality markings present and I'd recognise the Norwegian ones. Also, the Norge underbelly stripes are four, straight across the body, but this cab had three wider chevrons - more akin to the Coast Guard. Not sure why a Norwegian cab would be stooging around the South West of England? Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
