I guess it was a Mis-type Yup you got it in one, Typhoon, the name of one of my favourite aircraft, though not the one with the jet engine.

stevehnz Posted September 2, 2022 Share Posted September 2, 2022 Not quite over our place but there has been a privately operated UH-60 Black Hawk operating locally clearing anything from cars to fallen trees from slip debris after the flooding this area experienced a couple of weeks ago.

Ray S Posted September 5, 2022 Share Posted September 5, 2022 We had three aircraft (or the same one doing circuits) over Mitcheldean, Gloucestershire this morning about 00.30 - 00.50. It sounded like a heavy aircraft, a jet, and was pretty low. There was about 5 -10 minutes between each one. I am not sure what website to check out and see what it (they) might have been.

Pete in Lincs Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 Sileby (Leics) @ 13:42 today. At about 1000 feet, Spitfire. Glorious sound. Not my house, but we were delivering to a pub there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John B (Sc) Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 Intrigued to see that an Emirates 777 from Dubai to Glasgow has just flown North of Aberdeen at 30,000ft, done a 60 degree left and is now descending rapidly Southwards to Glasgow. Most unusual routeing - I wonder whether is a Purple in place for the flight from Aberdeen of Charles and Camilla. John B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhantomBigStu Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 Woke up to some f-15s from ln heading south, then a bit later more noise that didn’t appear on fr or adsb so perhaps ln f-35’s before spotting a bit later 2 lots of f-15s heading south Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tentacles Posted September 13, 2022 Share Posted September 13, 2022 I've just seen a Mil-24 and a Mil-17 go right over, flying in tandem at quite low level. I live just outside Prague, so I think they must be the Czech airforce's contribution to last weekend's Duxford show, on their way home. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIG X Posted September 13, 2022 Share Posted September 13, 2022 ...About half an hour ago - a certain RAF Globemaster ZZ177 - carrying a very special lady... I was watching on Flightradar24 & she was heading due south when just north of Manchester she altered course to fly more or less directly over "town". From up here on the hills to the east of Manchester Madame X & I got a really good view as the cloud cover was very high.

Enzo the Magnificent Posted September 22, 2022 Share Posted September 22, 2022 2242 BST Thursday 22 August. Lockheed MC-130J 12-5759. Flightradar 24 says 2200ft atitude at 228 kts. However it sounded lower and faster than that. Having got over Ely and turned south, it's already past Mildenhall. It is not hanging around!!!
