Ptmvarsityfan Posted September 30, 2016 Share Posted September 30, 2016 Walking to the shops in Colwyn Bay this morning and saw a small twin float seaplane flying near to the shoreline heading west. Too far to see the reg but looked like a Super Cub type, yellow and black with yellow wings. Very pleased as in all my years of planespotting, attending airshows etc had never seen a floatplane before! Cheers. paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhantomBigStu Posted September 30, 2016 Share Posted September 30, 2016 This was the other day, what I think was a Gulfstream flew over very low, must have been a fair few hundred feet lower than the usual bizjet traffic, quite a sight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr T Posted October 1, 2016 Share Posted October 1, 2016 Just got back from holiday and the only thing we saw flying was a Merlin over where we were staying at Camogli. However, on the way to the airport from Lucca to Pisa we went past a Piaggio PD808 mounted on a pole on a roundabout on the outskirts of Lucca and going past a technical college on the outskirts there were a F104, a Sabre and a MB326 in the grounds. All looked intact, but shabby. At Pisa airport the military side had a line up of 11 C130's (some missing props) and one doing 'circuits and bumps' Today had a Coastguard S92 come over, not sure where it was off to, not the usual approach into Leeds, mor like head across the Pennines Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

noelh Posted October 14, 2016 Share Posted October 14, 2016 This just now on approach to nearby airport . It's engaged on a geophysical survey of the area. It flies very low about 200 feet. Impressive to see. Earlier this morning an Irish Air Corps PC9 made multiple passes over the city aimed presumably at the local army base. Either it was some kind of training exercise or it was putting down an attempted coup!!!! At one point it produced a smoke trail. Definitely an unusual thing to see around here.

It sounded really smooth as it went over. We are under the downwind leg of Flagstaff Airport's circuit; it was doing touch and goes. As we are at 7,000ft, we often get military types doing circuits and bumps to get some density altitude practice, particularly during the summer when it's in the 80s and 90s. This one did three sets before departing back south to DM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HP42 Posted October 16, 2016 Author Share Posted October 16, 2016 https://www.dropbox.com/s/pywp1cgn1fkcku5/2016-10-14 16.05.40.png?dl=0 Hopefully the link will work. Noticed this thing buzzing about on FR. It approached my house at about 7000 ft and I heard a jet noise. I'm wild guessing it was a Hawk or some other small jet. It headed off towards Staffordshire then disappeared of the screen. Heading to Valley? Any ideas what it was and what it might have been doing?

Ascoteer Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 A pair of Pave Hawks in close formtion, all nav lights on, and quite low. Presumably en route back to Mildenhall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, I've been there in Albert. Once you get to those sorts of Density Altitudes you have to be aware of the TAS limits on things like nosewheel speed and selection of Ground Idle and Reverse. Good for catching out unwary Co-Pilots! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
