Séan Pádraig Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 The Red Arrows just flew towards us and red white and blue smoke trailing the banked from right to left across our 11th floor window.... fantastic... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vlamgat9 Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 Just had Olympic/Paralympic fly past straight over my office! Navy choppers, then Tyffies plus AWACS and then the Arrows. Wonderful! Great view from 12th floor as they sped over us and then on towards the West End, the jets then breaking to the right up to the North. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Séan Pádraig Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 (edited) We also had an AWAC and two flanking Typhoons bank across us ... some other helicopters (not sure of the type) All for the Team GB and Paralympics GB team victory parade in London.

There were I think two Lynxes, a Sea King ASC& and AN Other I couldnt quite see (maybe another Lynx?). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pigsty Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 Y'know, it occurs to me that we should have a Britmodeller central London get-together some time. There's an absolutely cracking greasy spoon very close to my office, which I suspect isn't a million miles from some of you ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisrope Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 Chinook went into Manchester Airport earlier. It was following the normal airliner approach route in, right over work WOKKA WOKKA WOKKA WOKKA WOKKA The most interesting thing since the AWACS went over 2 months ago. Even the fat Airbus is boring now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kpc7676 Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 Last night, a very noisy Hawaiian Airliners 777 flew over outbound to Hawaii, at what for my location in Sydney was a very low altitude. Thanks to Plane Finder I was able to identify it and will be standing by more noisy departures when the same route is taken in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
