At 16:32 we were blessed with a Coningsby(?) Tornado(?) who arrived from the south at 500feet and performed a full burner climb up to 4000feet and departed to the north, superb spectacle! :ymapplause:

Amended because I can NOW spell TORNADO!

I think I heard a C130J today

Just had 2 Cobham Falcons? heading east over our house

Happy Oli - A C130K C1 flew right over my head in my lunch break!

Have you got any pictures of the tyre marks?

by **Olicat** » Wed Dec 07, 2011 5:38 pm

I meant overhead

And besides the gear was up at the time

It wasn't that LOW!

He then passed over us on the way home near Marham.

I wonder if 888 has a name like "CHRISTINE" the Mercedes? :-o

by **Hihonyr8811** » Thu Dec 08, 2011 7:07 pm

That would be even worse as my mum's name is Christine =))

Blimey, that's the first time I realised she had a name other than Mum or the Taxi-Driver!

Just saw an Apache circling Bromley Kent about 1500ft,very unusual for this locality ,stayed for around 5min then off,couldn't see which direction ! :-o

Just had a thought,maybe he was doing his Christmas chopping ( groan )

Shouldn't this be in the Spotters Thread, Ace?????

Love Apaches, though.........

Er, yes ,I was a bit excited and jumped in to the first thread I saw :ymblushing:

thing is apart from when Biggin Hill used to hold the Airshow, when we would get most performers flying over the house doing circuits,it's rare to see military stuff here ,probably cos we are under the point where Heathrow traffic turn on finals,although we do get the occasional Chinook !

Makes a change from Oli, he only ever gets distinctive Chinooks! :-o

No photo, but a yellow Sea king flew over our house about an hour ago, he was really really low too.

by **Dan4th** » Sun Jan 01, 2012 6:55 pm

Perhaps they were looking to
rescue some CUPCAKES???????

by **Hihonyr8811** » Sun Jan 01, 2012 7:38 pm

No wonder he didn't stop then

Just had a Huey go over Bicester heading north west . Not sure if its the one based up north [Blackpool ?] as I thought that one is in US Army makings , this one was bright blue and white [unless its just received a repaint] .

Stepped outside the house this morning and heard a jet, so I looked around and saw it was a VC-10 with lots of smoke behind it!
