A busy spotting day at Horspath yesterday!

Off the top of my head – an Isaacs Fury, a Stearman, clipped-wing Spitfire, both military and civilian Austers, something that looked like a Supermunk, Fairchild Argus, Luscombe, Piper Cub…

I think I saw more different types than at Abingdon Airshow the day before!

We had the Duxford based Catalina pass over home today – looking at flightradar it was returning to Duxford from Le Touquet.

The Aerolegends aircraft were out and about again over the weekend too – we had Spitfire, Harvard and Tiger Moth over at various points.

12:25 today a T6, looked very much like G-TSIX, approached from the SW passing NW abeam Gunby E. Lincs before returning to manoeuvre to the NW of Gunby and away again West.

A couple of Spit movements this week past over the A12 Witham area Essex down to the cliffs and back

“A great roaring had me scampering out the door at work ( Little Chalfont ) to see Mustang, Buchon, Spit, Thunderbolt sweep overhead at 11.00 , height about 800 feet, heading east.”

They are displaying at the Bournemouth Air Festival 2-5 Sept.

Spitfire G-RRGN has just flown directly over my house! Beautiful.

A great roaring had me scampering out the door at work ( Little Chalfont ) to see Mustang, Buchon, Spit, Thunderbolt sweep overhead at 11.00 , height about 800 feet, heading east.

Goodwood press day perhaps ?   

Tiger Moth over Kidlington yesterday. There’s also a Pitts Special been putting in appearances lately.

No sign of the shed-with-wings for a while, I’m missing it!

BBMF Hurricane passed just west of me and east of Chelmsford about an hour ago,

A spitfire heading south over the A12 Witham Essex about 30 mins ago

Spit Headed back towards Duxford and now landed

Thank you for checking that – by the time I’ve had a post-cricket “shandy”, got home, had supper and downloaded my photos of the game, there’s no time left for things like thinking of looking up aeroplanes!

I should point out that it was the *wings* following the Dove, not winds, blame my fat fingers…

It was Miss Helen out of Duxford just checked last Sundays flights

I wonder if it was Miss Helen G-BIXL ?

Last  Sunday a Mustang with a blue tail in the far distance near Oxford about 7pm – I had to use 600mms of lens to even see it was a Mustang!

Yeaterday some interesting roadrunning going on – the fuselage of an Air Atlantique Dak on the back of a low loader was heading South down the M6 yesterday, followed closely by what I think must be the centre section of G-APSA – certainly a four-engined aircraft in British Eagle colours. Then an hour or so later, a DH Dove/Devon fuselage with the winds following behind.
