keefr22 Posted July 19, 2021 Share Posted July 19, 2021 G-RHYM has been droning about overhead for the last couple of hours. Judging by it's nose it looks to be doing some kind of survey; https://www.jetphotos.com/photo/7615126 Hope their air con is working....!!

Biggles87 Posted July 19, 2021 Share Posted July 19, 2021 At 1530 today I heard something approaching and went out expecting to see an Alpha Jet because it was not very noisy and was surprised to see a Mirage 2000 at about 1000ft tootling along fairly slowly heading west. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seahawk Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 (edited) Are they allowed to have NOTAMs nowadays? Would have thought they had to be called NOTAPs, Notice To Air People. Edited July 21, 2021 by Seahawk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete in Lincs Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 I did a beer & other drinks delivery to RAF Coningsby Officers Mess this afternoon. It was Families day today. So Relatives and guests of those serving there could be invited to see the base and watch the flying display. I then went up the road and delivered to the Leagate pub. So I got to see, at low level*, the BoBMF Dakota, Hurricane and a couple of Spitfires, plus a loony in a Pitts special trailing smoke and doing some mad aerobatics. Not to mention the Reds (I live up the road from Scampton and they regularly threaten our chimneys!). Families day was always good when I was in the mob, Your nearest and dearest could see what you did and where you worked. *The Dakota was stooging around at about 200 feet. A lovely sight. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Des Posted August 11, 2021 Share Posted August 11, 2021 Just had an RAF Hercules (ZH865/RRR126 according to Flight Radar) pass Montrose at 550' heading out to sea. Brize Norton to Wick and then zig-zagging its way back south at low level , if it keeps up its current course might cross land again around Dunbar in East Lothian.

fatfingers Posted August 12, 2021 Share Posted August 12, 2021 Pair of RAF Typhoons on QRA out of Coningsby. Apparently small plane from Guernsey into Leeds/Bradford not responding so Biggles went for a look see. One intercepted and other hung back. Bet the pilot of small plane will now need clean trousers! Both Tiffies were tooled up. Heard em go over and just caught glimps of one as it banked. Mate of mine has a flight app thingy and he filled me in on the details.
