Rickpadwick1801 Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 Just seen coastguard helicopter CG104 (G-SARD) literally 1,000 feet above my house. Did a circle round and then headed back the way it came. Currently over North Mundham in west sussex according to FlightRadar on heading 278. Dunno what they were doing, but it didn't stay long over Littlehampton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darby Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 Heard a heavy prop job earlier today but cloud obscured it. Other than that the usual woodpigeons and another crow 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duncan B Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 Norwegian F16, twin tanks (and appeared to be loaded for Bear) did a circuit around Kristiansund right over the top of me (might have landed but I couldn't tell from where I am). And specially for Darby, a Sea Eagle gliding over the Fjord along with assorted common crows and seagulls. Duncan B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr T Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 On Friday there was a Hawk came over heading towards Leeds Bradford Airport (we live where they turn for finals about ten miles out. later that same day the Dutch DC3 which had been at the airport came over on its way back to the Netherlands. On Sunday afternoon coming back up the A46 north of Leicester saw what looked like a Westland Scout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caution Wake Turbulence Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 Not over my house as such, but over my head at rather low level while I was on my bike: http://www.airliners.net/photo/WPD-Helicopters/Eurocopter-EC-135P-1/2091849/L/&sid=622ddb65959bd76f02075673e20d4820 Inspecting power lines.

lasermonkey Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 Just heard an unfamiliar turboprop. A quick look on FR24 showed it to be a Ukraine Alliance AN-12 at approx 15,000ft. I wish the weather was clear enough to have seen it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMP2 Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 (edited) A V-22 Osprey! How odd. Just north of Lincoln, heading north, possibly from Scampton..? Also spotted a Chinook at work earlier today near Great Yarmouth and a Hunter, twice, parked up on the A17. Edited May 6, 2015 by RMP2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bar side Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 Just down the road from Wattisham so lots of Apache action heading up & down. Sea King search & rescues for the time being. KC135s & occasional Hercs from Mildenhall - even the occasional Osprey. Nice run by the Duxford Catalina the other day. Used to get the occasional Tornado flying through Wattisham and the Antonov transports until the runway was closed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

modelling minion Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 Antonov An-12 comes past most evenings, just after 8. Interesting red coloured fuselage, came out of East Mids I think. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Brown Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 What was flying over Brum at 13:00 today? Sounded like the Dakota but I didn't see it. Rick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darby Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 Robin and Great Tit earlier. Male Chaffinch 5 mins ago, variable incidence wings, STOL capability and probably 'below bingo' as it landed on the seed tray and had a bite to eat. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Airgunner Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 Robin and Great Tit earlier. Male Chaffinch 5 mins ago, variable incidence wings, STOL capability and probably 'below bingo' as it landed on the seed tray and had a bite to eat. Had a pair of Goldfinches in the garden today, feeding on the seeds. Not seen any for years, hopefully a new pair moved in somewhere local.

Grayson Posted May 9, 2015 Share Posted May 9, 2015 Yesterday we had sparrows in the garden. Haven't seen sparrows in an age. They were disturbed by a Typhoon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HP42 Posted May 9, 2015 Author Share Posted May 9, 2015 On Sunday afternoon coming back up the A46 north of Leicester saw what looked like a Westland Scout. I saw that too, I'm guessing you must have seen it fairly close to the Widmerpool A46/A606 junction. I live near there and it went almost over my house, it was going quite slowly as I remember. I didn't realise a Scout was still flying anywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xenol Posted May 9, 2015 Share Posted May 9, 2015 Just the occasional airliner. However, last year during the NATO summit in Cardiff, we where treated to a pair of V-22s flying low level over my house. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
