[Mayfly]

Oli I have heard G-NATY has been up and about over Dorset recently. Any rumblings around your neck of the woods about her?

[Olicat]

I've heard that too - but seen nothing here

[Olicat]

YES! Bell 212HP ZJ964 and Lynx AH7 ZD281 circling Wimborne! Happiest few minutes after school ever!
EDIT: Apache low right over the house!

[Xplumberlives]

Jimbo and I have just been on to Wittering to watch the Chinooks buzzing around! Oh and then back for pancakes!

Feels like spring

[Cluny]

Buzzed by a Merlin HC3 whilst driving along the A41 at Kingswood at 14:50 this afternoon .

[Olicat]

I heard (didn't see) 2 Lynx's low over school today

[Olicat]

Saw a Hawk come out of Bournemouth this afternoon.

[Hihonyr8811]

Had just left Coningsby when 4 typhoons arrived in formation with a Hawk

Wonder what that was all about?

[Hihonyr8811]

Going on the air to air it sounded like he was the bad guy
There were 2 other hawks there too, one on the ground that didn't go anywhere and another that came over just before we left and landed as we were leaving.



But I missed the formation as there was nowhere to stop in time

[Xplumberlives]

100 Sqn seem to get the more interesting jobs, although the jet doesn't appear to be carrying ACMI Pods!

[Hihonyr8811]

A bit mean seeing as there was 4 against 1

Nothing ventured, NOTHING gained!

Virgin Atlantic A340-600 decending towards Heathrow , a regular sight but it was looked lower than normal at 08:24 this morning .
RN Sea king over Brill at 14:17 heading north .

[Minty4371]

A couple passed by my house at about 16:10.
What exactly is it?

[Olicat]

WAH-64D Apache Longbow!

[Hihonyr8811]

There was something buzzing around the Scampton area doing aerobatics this afternoon, couldn't see it though, but it sounded like a Tucano or something similar

[Minty4371]

WAH-64D Apache Longbow!

Thank you. I put that on my Facebook page and was told it was not a Longbow. He said it was an Agusta Westland Apache.

[Olicat]

It has a circular blob above the rotors, that's a longbow radar which makes it an Apache Longbow

[Cluny]

Apache passed low heading north over Bicester before circling RAF Bicester and carrying on its merry way during my lunch break at 13:21 , obviously they're keeping their eyes on us Iconic members again

[Xplumberlives]

WAH-64D Apache Longbow!

Thank you. I put that on my Facebook page and was told it was not a Longbow. He said it was an Agusta Westland Apache.

Robert, as Oli said that is the LONGBOW radar atop the rotors, it's what makes OUR Apaches better than all the others!

I think you politely need to educate your follower!
