Séan Pádraig Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 I don't know for sure but an Airbus A380 or a Boeing 747 fley over Dagenham pretty low about 20mins ago. I assume it was making a detour over the Olympic stadium heading into Heathrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnHull Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 nothing interesting EVER flies over here, however, just pulled up tonight to see Vickers finest flying over pretty low en route into Brize - i guess she's just back from an Olympics refuelling sortie? it's worth the year of nothing flying over for that site! gonna miss her!

Tashengurt Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 Could have sworn I saw a C123 Provider over Newcastle today. I couldn't get a proper look because I was trying not to ignore the person I was talking to but what I did glimpse was AT shaped, too squat to be a Herc, too short tailed for a C160. I was torn between two engines with tanks or four engines. Maybe a Casa 212? Any suggestions (other than glasses) welcome. I do realise that it wasn't a 123 by the way!

heloman1 Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 Not flying rather scudding across the sky are heavy rain clouds. We have the front of a storm coming in from Cape Town high winds, rain and 8m high waves. Which is a pity as there is a surfing contest happening deon the raod. With waves that high it could be quiter scarey! Aviation wise this week a solitary Jet Ranger. Colin on the Africa Station Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver Fox Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 We were at Stongehenge on Thursday ans saw in the space of an hour 4 Grobs,( seemed to be using the Henge as a turn point, two Merlins, 1 RN, 1RAF, two Alpha Jets( or one twice), an Apache, a Chinook,and a Hercules. More military hardware in a n hour that I've seen in the Sheffield-Barnsley-Rotherham triange in a year. No doubt the residents will be complaining, but me and the kids loved it.

Paul Bradley Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 WOW! US Marine Corps AV-8B screamed low over the house at high speed just now! It had overnighted at the airport, and left with a high-speed flypast, with a low-level, high-speed banking turn right over my house. Spectacular!

Well, I live in Abbeyhill, about a mile from the Castle, so I assume the burners were already on when they flew over my house. Didn't sound very sedate! (Not that I was one of those who complained!)

theplasticsurgeon Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 This morning and Tues AM - just before 10am, a very noisy VC-10 - sounding like something a lot more sporty. Probably full, climbing out to rendezvous with fighters over the sea somewhere. Each time I see a VC-10 - I think it could well be the final occasion.
