HL-10 Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 Just 10 minutes ago! Heard the unmistakeable sound of: I live near a designated emergency landing field. We get Chinooks, and Merlins. They do a couple of orbits of the field before and after landing an if I'm quick enough I can get some pictures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tashengurt Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 About half an hour ago, four Apaches chugging up the Tyne. Not much drags me out of my pit on nights but what a racket! A welcome racket at that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spfparker Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 15.15 today flying east over Northampton - four (I think) Tornados in formation, one of which had a very light coloured tail, followed by what looked like a Sentinel - only caught the briefest of glimpes...

ChopperSteve Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 for a couple of days i have what i swear is a huey, dark gree with orange/red chevrons underneathv(worcester) no idea what its been up to or why. That was in Plymouth 2-3weeks ago.... I just assumed it was from either the German or Dutch warships that were in the Sound at the time,but I could be ( & usually are) wrong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnT Posted November 17, 2012 Share Posted November 17, 2012 2.20 Saturday at Oxton, just 20 minutes South of Edinburgh by car on a clear sunny day a Typhoon slowly turned and headed North towards Edinburgh. Didn't look like he was in a hurry. Anyone know why on a Saturday afternoon? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

max lloyd Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 5 minutes ago - Spitfire having fun over Kemble (lucky to work in office airfield). Glimpsed out of office window so not sure which one. Interesting markings though - looked like yellow-edged roundels under wings. Anyone identify?

rich2010 Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 I saw a Tornado go overhead (nr Jct 36 M6) heading east this morning. It had a white/ black tail (I think). Definitely not grey all over. It was going pretty fast though, and i was trying to negotiate through some windy roads, so not too sure. I love living/ working up here - it's a free air display most days. Best one was early one morn sat up high somewhere in a field waiting for colleagues, and a Herc came straight past at tree top level wings over and banking hard. The rest of the day was a bit of a let down after that... Always see Tucanos, Tornados, Typhoons, Chinooks, Junglies, etc. sometimes see the odd F15E as well.

ben_m Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 Glimpsed out of office window so not sure which one. Interesting markings though - looked like yellow-edged roundels under wings. Anyone identify? The BBMF's LF Mk.XVI has yellow-edged roundels (C1) in all positions- it is a low-back, clipped wing version. The Fighter Collection's LF Mk. XIV probably should have C1 roundels underneath the wings, but it doesn't, so it's not that one. Another option is Peter Teichman's PR Mk. XI, which is in overall PRU blue with C1 roundels in all positions and a white R on the fuselage sides. It is possible/probable that one or more of the Mk. IX Spitfires in the UK are in the post-Jan 1945 TAF scheme of black spinners, no sky fuselage band and C1 roundels in all positions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
