theplasticsurgeon Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 Well as I was driving about a mile away from home: Five or Six Hawks overtook me, straight over the top of the car - followed by three more the a last one bringing up the rear. They were Red funnily enough, heading North - probably out of Kemble today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brianthemodeller Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 'ow do! I'm down in Lincoln tonight and, this pm, took the hance to visit the BoBMF at Coningsby. At around 4:30 after a rather excellent tour of the hanger I heard a large jet overhead - not the usual Typhoons. I am not sure what it was but the profile was similar to a B-1 bomber. It certainly wasn't the profile of a commercial jet. Any ideas?? 'ow do! I'm down in Lincoln tonight and, this pm, took the hance to visit the BoBMF at Coningsby.

Jimbo Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 Just been round to the g/f's house near Bognor to check on how the renovation's going after the flooding. Hearing some engines I recognise I head towards the window calling out 'Lancaster! Lancaster!' Indeed it was, accompanied by Spitfire and Huricane. Ahhhh, 6 Merlins! (Or was it 5 Merlins and 1 Griffon? ) I assume they were heading from Bournemouth to Shoreham, both having their airshows today. A short while later, about to leave the house and there's that engine sound again. I dash out the front door, look out along the close and there, almost filling the sky, was the Lanc. It was soooo low, the underside detail was so clear! The Hurricane was slightly behind and to one side, and ohhhhhh, the sound! GF comes rushing out saying "what was that, the house was shaking!" I couldn't reply for a short while, a lump in my throat and a tear in my eye - I don't know how many times I've seen the BBMF, and it always gives a shiver down the spine - but this time it made me rather emotional. I think it was being so low and feeling the engines. I want to dash home and start one! Jimbo PS Just done some quick sums when I got back, and based on the size it seemed in the sky, I work out it was about 600 feet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steven Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 Was at Culdrose on Friday morning and was lucky enough to get a good 15 minites of a Sea Fury doing a flypast. All other flying was suspended until it did a low level salute and then flew off towards Falmouth. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

colihamp Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 I live about a mile from Goodwood and we're fortunate enough to have the Boultbee Spitfire (pretty sure its the Boultbee one) based here during the summer months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hutch Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 Whilst walking my dogs down the centre of the main runway of RAF Broardwell (it closed in 1946!!!!) I watched a B-52 pass over head and after flying over Brize Norton (about a mile away) it turned through 180 and settled on finals into Fairford. Well, I'm sure it reached Fairford as there hasn't been anything on the news...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
