lasermonkey Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 Hurricane P3717/G-HITT just flew over, heading south. If you’re in Biggleswade, look up now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cerperal Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 Just had Junglie ZJ125 thunder over, circled Basingstoke and then did a few loops around Aldershot. Hell of a sound and rare around these parts. If anyone can explain what they were up to and why the gear was down that would be much appreciated Will Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keefr22 Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 Early this afternoon, a Wildcat (too far to determine if Army or Navy) with a civvie livery helo (unknown type) in close trail formation.... Civvie helo might have been one used by the Hereford mob..? Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RidgeRunner Posted August 3, 2022 Author Share Posted August 3, 2022 I just had the wonderful sound of four T56s hauling Chile's aged C-130H "FAC995" directly overhead on her way home from Waddington https://globe.adsbexchange.com/?icao=e8066b 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biggles87 Posted August 3, 2022 Share Posted August 3, 2022 Almost forgot. Last night at 2145 with the light fading as I let the dogs out for a final P, a Tucano went whistling past heading west . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Headroom Posted August 6, 2022 Share Posted August 6, 2022 On my holibops in a cottage in Dorset. This afternoon I heard a rumbling something. Moments later PA474 flies over at about 400’ in what I can only describe as a ‘stately progression’. Highlight of my day 👍 Trevor 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr T Posted August 9, 2022 Share Posted August 9, 2022 This morning had a US registered Aero Commander, N980AE flying a pattern of straight lines over the Leeds area at about 4,000 feet. It is currently on the ground at LBA. Not seen an Aero Commander for ages. About ten minutes ago a Kentucky ANG C130H, 91-1238 according to FR24 was over from Ramstein heading North West (Prestwick?). Just now a Hawk T.1 in 'Red Arrows' markings has done two approaches into LBA. Last week we had two Chinooks over on the approach into LBA 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elderly Posted August 10, 2022 Share Posted August 10, 2022 On Saturday we were outside having lunch and heard something very interesting approaching; it was the Lancaster at 137 metres altitude ( according to FR24) and only a couple of hundred metres East of the house! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iainpeden Posted August 10, 2022 Share Posted August 10, 2022 A good 24 hours for me. Last night about 9 an RAF Herc went over followed 5 minutes later by an Atlas. 2.10 on the dot this afternoon, Red Arrows right over the house with a slight formation change over the garden and a Crowsnest Merlin this afternoon.

fatfingers Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 Not over my house but over my head.. Been at Yorkshire Wartime Experience today near Birkenshaw and the BoB Lancaster did a few circuits low and loud! The sound of the Merlins give me goose bumps! Spit and Hurri are due to fly over tomorrow so every chance i might get to see them fly over my garden 👍 Regards Steve 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fatfingers Posted August 14, 2022 Share Posted August 14, 2022 Well no Spit or Hurri as expected but i did get the Lancaster go over. Twice in one weekend... lucky me 😀 Regards, Steve 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fightersweep Posted August 17, 2022 Share Posted August 17, 2022 A rare sighting of something different over my house from the usual Ryanair and Easy Jet hardware in and out of Bristol. What appeared to be a SE5A replica, and what I think may have been a Hawker Fury replica heading east together in formation. Nice to see something unusual for once. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lasermonkey Posted August 18, 2022 Share Posted August 18, 2022 Earlier on I heard (but didn’t see) what sounded like an vintage military jet tanking around at low level. Unfortunately it wasn’t showing up on either Freedar.uk or FR24. Possibly a Vampire? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimbo Posted August 18, 2022 Share Posted August 18, 2022 Just heard the sound of a fast jet, out to the garden pronto! Could hear it out to sea (we're just along from Bognor, about 1/2 mile from the sea but with houses in between. Then heard more jet noise but couldn't see anything. A look on ADS-B Exchabge showed an F-15E Dark21 with two smaller non identified aircraft, callsigns Dark23 and 24. All headed east a mile or so off the coast at 900ft. Check shortly after and the F-15 disappeared from ADS-B exchange, Dark23 and 24 continued round the coast and currently showing heading west towards Maidstne. F-15 showing agsin! Typical though, a fast jet down here and it's too low to see! Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
