davecov Posted May 27, 2021 Share Posted May 27, 2021 I arrived in Lossie today for a week's break where I will be taking in some of the RAF, RN and fishing history along the Moray coast. Twice I heard something go over and all I could tell was that they noisy, smokey, wingy things! I presume they were Typhoons. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lasermonkey Posted June 2, 2021 Share Posted June 2, 2021 Yesterday the Magister and Chipmunk pair was back, doing a few circuits of the area. Earlier today there was a Spitfire and tonight, a tawny owl was sitting on our neighbour’s chimney, squeaking away. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

malpaso Posted June 3, 2021 Share Posted June 3, 2021 1 hour ago, lasermonkey said: G-AGHY? I don’t think so from photos online unless it’s been repainted. The one I saw was v dark green (probably) to the whole fuselage with all flying surfaces silver. As it was a very bright day the fuse could possibly be black or very dark blue I guess.

Whofan Posted June 4, 2021 Share Posted June 4, 2021 My daughter who lives in Stourport had them Red Arrars fly over this evening, she said they were old bangers 'cos they were making a load of smoke. Translation; the Red Arrows overflew Stourport on their sort of Midlands "tour" on their way to the Air festival at Ragley Hall, Alcester, makng smoke. I'll be over at her house tomorrow to see them as they're going over Stourport again at about 1353. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cathasatail Posted June 4, 2021 Share Posted June 4, 2021 A bit of a poor-quality photo, but we had these two pop over the West Midlands earlier today: I live just under the turning-point into Birmingham Airport, so over the years we're used to seeing airliners come over. Today both Anarchy 1 (BlackJack) of the Typhoon display team and the backup jet (I think the latter is crewed by Jim Peterson) flew past, and seemed to be using the same point on their way to and from the Midlands Air Festival at Ragley Hall, and their base for the weekend at East Midlands airport. Hopefully we'll see them take the same route tomorrow and Sunday! Best wishes, Sam 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wellsprop Posted June 6, 2021 Share Posted June 6, 2021 The Red Arrows, on their way from Exeter, up north. Only 8 of them, I assume one is still at Exeter, currently U/S. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lasermonkey Posted June 6, 2021 Share Posted June 6, 2021 Sally B was back again, this time directly overhead at 1250ft. Glorious! Just as she was disappearing from view, a pair of cuckoos flew over, considerably lower, but making almost as much noise! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lasermonkey Posted June 7, 2021 Share Posted June 7, 2021 Damselfiies. Even though our (small) garden pond is just a year old, there are scores of damselflies emerging from it. I found eight exuvia last week, and today there's getting on for twenty more. Some damselflies are freshly emerged, so are colourless with wings still drying out, while others are warming up, ready or their first flight. I'm absolutely chuffed to be able to witness this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RidgeRunner Posted June 7, 2021 Author Share Posted June 7, 2021 Ah, the wonderful drone of T56s strapped to a Herc :). The right engines, short form fuselage, four-blade props. G-781 went over the village half an hour or so ago at FL200, heading for Cambridge. A proper Herc! Martin 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
