SPOTTED – Thread Part Deux

Yes, I saw this. Camouflaged 19. On track for Coningsby.

Spitfire then a Tiger Moth 🙂

A Spitfire approx 14:00hrs i’sh flying steadily over Arnold Nottingham. It was a PR type either Spitfire PR Mk XIX PS915 (BBMF) or I think the Spitfire PR XIX PS853 (Rolls Royce Heritage) Definitely a PR Type then a little later in the afternoon G-TIGA, a Tiger Moth in the same direction but a little lower…..

Was at the hospital in Middlesbrough recently with my daughter, and we got to see this as we left

Which Bulldog wearing RAF training scheme did I see at Popham this morning?
When I drove past on the return leg at about 14.30 somebody appeared to be walking around checking her out as if she was due for a flight later in the afternoon?

Civilian version of this over Reading

1pm sar seaking around rayleigh/southend

Spitfire overhead Southend at 5:10pm heading north.

A Breguet XIV, flying up our valley……

…..and coming back up the valley, this evening, heading SE, followed not a lot later by a Nord NC.854.

I would of thought so. It certainly didnt seem to be in a hurry thats for sure!

Presumably the same one I saw pottering over Stratford about fifteen mins later……

Spitfire spotted yesterday over Stoke Prior near Bromsgrove. It was around 3.40ish. Any ideas whos it was?

A Breguet XIV, flying up our valley in a NW direction at about 200/250 m. Lovely old beast. Undulating flight, causing the sun to reflect off her wings intermittently. Lovely low engine noise. At first I thought that it was a tractor coming up our lane!

Yak 50 circling the town for a while and then off to the north west.

CWH’s Lancaster just flew over my house heading west, a very recognizable sound of four Merlins. Will be flying at Vintage Wings of Canada’s air show later today.

B-52 over Washington around 3:45pm, heading East.

Hurricane over Billericay approx 10.45 and then spotted by my father over Romford approx 11.00. Assume it was LF363.

So true….!

🙂 Spitfire doing wonderful aeros for at least 25 mins over N/W Cambridge area just now 11-10 onwards.
Walking the dogs in beautiful weather not a sound of a commentator anywhere ,just the birds twittering and the sound of a Merlin being used WONDERFUL.
Dear airshow commentators please take note and SHUT UP.

I’ll second that. Over the years I have come to detest their inane & interminable dronings, usually punctuated by exclamations of ‘Just listen to that..!” whilst they drone-on, ensuring that no one can enjoy the sounds. All the information is in the friggin Programme if people want the griff……:rolleyes:

Which aircraft was doing ciruits at Boscombe Down between about 18.30 and 19.15?
It was a piston engine monoplane from the brief glance I got but was very loud (much to my wifes displeasure!).

Heard a drone and whistle in the air and just saw two jets and a prop job disappearing over the trees tops. From the Ware direction heading north, over the village. A posting on another thread seemed to think it’s a photo shoot with two Vampires. No idea of the photo plane.
