4 small planes past my house (in the distance) heading towards Bourne (or that direction). May have been the Blades, or similar. Couldn't see any colour on them. Took a picture or two. Will see what I can make out.

EDIT:
They are the Blades. Can make out the orange colour on them. Photo has been cropped to bring aircraft closer. It is the best I can do .


A friend of mine went to Coningsby today and went on the BBMF tour. Just before they left, XH558 flew over the the airfield.

I was minding my own business ( ) chatting with the little princess in the garden when I heard a wonderful sound.......... I looked skywards and there, flying quite low was a Herc I legged it round the back of the house, yelled Cam to GET HERE NOW! (the only language to get a 15yr old boy off his butt anytime soon) and he was too!

We stood, very quiet, watching it saunter across the sky......

Didn't have my phone handy let alone my camera - sorry guys.

Naddy, I'm surprised a 15 year old understands English. Last time I saw him at Brunty, he'd grown. Good lad.

Very early this morning, the police helicopter was circling over near where I live. It came from, and went back, towards Bourne. Where is the police helicopter based please?

You should try living in the Aviation desert that is Kent

You should try living in the Aviation desert that is Kent

But at least you haven't got to drive for 3 hours + to get to anything decent that's aviation orientated - I even have to drive for 90 minutes to get to a damn motorway
