Spotters Corner

[Hihonyr8811]

Lucky b*****r's - all we get is the traffic into Edinburgh and the resident Cessna's n stuff

If it makes you feel any batter mags, I have Scampton, Waddo, coningsby and cranwell all with in 20 miles and I havn't seen a thing since Friday
Havn't even seen those pesky red arrows

[Mayfly]

did you go to Coningsby on Friday Helen?

[Hihonyr8811]

Yeah, but we missed all but 2 F15s and 2 harriers

And I even missed the 2 F-15s really as one had already landed and we had to stop for the lights for the second one

We didn't even make it as far as the car park, we came in via New York so we saw a space by the mound and stopped there

[Mayfly]

I couldn't be bothered to wait for the last 2 saw the first 4 tho' - understand another 2 should be arriving tomorrow

[Hihonyr8811]

Yeah I was told that too, I'm saving my spotting for Thursday/Friday though
Although we need meal worms for skinky, so Tuesday may be an excuse to go to the pet shop in Coningsby

[Mayfly]

you going to waddo friday?

[Dougs]

just saw a lone spitfire flying over bardon hill leicestershire too fast to get a photo though what a fantastic sound for a sunday afternoon

[Hihonyr8811]

you going to waddo friday?

Yeah, Fingers crossed

Although I'm only going for the Phantom so if it comes in at 8am then I won't bother LOL

wing parade to day for essex wing ATC, normally a flypast but nothing this year

[Hihonyr8811]

I finaly spottd something
Granted, I had to go to Coningsby to "spot" it, but still













Dakota was in the circuit first, but then the spit called up and aske for priority landing as he was low on fule, so I got 3 circuits by the Dak Right over my head as I was stood on the mound

Sorry no photos as had bits of Vulcan in my hands at the time but we had a Dakota fly over the top of 558 yesterday afternoon

[Gully]

May pay a visit to Brize on Thursday to see what's happening... Other than '558's departure, is much else likely to be happening please, Mackrick?

Thanks,

Gully

It's really sad I know but even though I knew 558 was several hundred miles away I still took my camera out with me - just in case (you never know the Earth's magnetic poles may suddenly reverse ).

[Mayfly]

well knowing their navigation skills I don't blame you ....
