Just seen from the office window, 2 x single engined piston warbirds flying in very close formation at about 2000′ in a north-easterly direction across the M25 south of Watford. Too distant to type ID exactly, but definately Spit/Hurri/P-51 size/speed etc.
Time as about 3.20-3.30pm this afternoon.
I thought BBMF but would have expected all of them to be in winter maintainance now, as would be most of teh civvie stuff I would have thought.
Anybody know…??
Certainly not an everyday occurance in these parts at this time of year 🙂

We had TD248 flying last Friday, IAC161 flying on Monday this week and IAC161 and JG891 both down to fly later this week as well.
They do forecast hideous rain though :rolleyes:

Well, whichever Hurricane is going to be at Coltishall next week, and I suspect it could be Peter Vachers, then, thats another for the list.

A month for an annual???? What are you guys messing about at??????
By: Mark V - 20th November 2006 at 17:00
Just shows that not all warbirds hibernate for the entire winter. An annual can be done in a month or so and so long as you have access to a nice well drained (ideally hard) runway you can fly all year round, weather permitting.
