However it is a beautiful day here in the south-east and in among the many Spitfire & a couple of Hurricane overflights (Battle of Britain memorial, Capel-le-Ferne) the Swedish De Havilland DH.80A Puss Moth SE-AFH flew in across the Channel at low altitude passing right over the back garden - heading for Dx ? 2 hours ago, Paul821 said: The usual traffic over our house are lookalike jets flying into Luton or Stanstead but we do have a regular Spitfire overflight. Today was different two Spitfires (together) and a little later Hurricane G-HUPW. This is the first Hurricane I have seen here in 10 years. You're both lucky to be able to hear that classic Merlin sound regularly. Not to mention actually seeing Spitfires and Hurricanes. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RidgeRunner Posted September 16, 2021 Author Share Posted September 16, 2021 14 hours ago, RidgeRunner said: There probably wasn’t a spotter in the South East who didn’t see them @PhantomBigStu Today we had AC-130W 08-6206 (RCH1032) with HC-130J 16-5862 (RCH1030) flying Souda to Mildenhall over the South East followed by HC-130J 18-5910, calling RCH1034. There should be an AC-130J to fly up this way too soon. Martin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

busnproplinerfan Posted September 19, 2021 Share Posted September 19, 2021 Earlier about noon a Tiger Moth, Cornell and a Fairchild 24 were all flying a circular pattern quite low. All restored in Bcatp colours. Later I found out a Harvard and T-28 joined them but then they moved south and didn’t see them. No airshows anywhere today. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jabba Posted September 20, 2021 Share Posted September 20, 2021 About 2pm 3 Spitfires in Vic formation flew over our workplace heading towards London. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
busnproplinerfan Posted September 20, 2021 Share Posted September 20, 2021 Here's some pictures of what flew over yesterday. I posted about this a page before this. Take note of the oil streaks under the fuselage on the Tiger Moth. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabrejet Posted September 21, 2021 Share Posted September 21, 2021 In formation, an Extra 300, a Cessna Caravan and a Spitfire XIX - apparently all from Staverton. Any ideas what they were up to? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Potato Pete Posted September 22, 2021 Share Posted September 22, 2021 Thanks for the explanation Sabrejet- a U-2 then. You do get them here occasionally but I've never one so low before. It was impressive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul J Posted September 22, 2021 Share Posted September 22, 2021 Not quite over my house but seen along the coast at Worthing today on one of my walks along the beach(half hour from my home) was a P-38 Lightning heading east. It was too quick for me to get my camera on it to get a photo. It was certainly the Red Bull one but from where it came from and its destination I Don't know. After last week when I saw the Catalina, I am feeling quite lucky at seeing these warbirds near home on such lovely days. Did anyone else see it or know of its reason for being over here?

Whofan Posted September 23, 2021 Share Posted September 23, 2021 In Paignton this week and on Tuesday morning and yesterday afternoon off Brixham (sea fishing) saw a twin seater spitfire overflying. My son in law’s brother thinks it’s flying out of Exeter, but will check that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete in Lincs Posted September 23, 2021 Share Posted September 23, 2021 I was in Heckington (near Sleaford) early this afternoon. I swear I saw a yellow AutoGyro fly over. Probably not Little Nellie though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TBH I'd missed your post about the 'free airshow' as my other thought with the variety of machinery in your first post was Pembrey - but the Mini Jumbo wouldn't likely be seen there.... The helo's are often about down here and we had the first visit I'd seen from a Texan here last week... Keith 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
