50 minute transfer at Changi should be sufficient if the flight arrival is on time.

Thanks for that Kabir. I booked an early flight so if I am late there is a second flight to TPE I can be transferred to, fingers crossed!

Was that a Sparrowhawk breaking away in picture #1 or a swift closer in to the camera? Anyway did it have a DA for formation flying with the Yak?:)

No doubt their first names would be Miles and Supermarine :D:D:D

Joined the forum to ask what type these 2 planes are seen doing a 3 circuits above Bakewell Derbyshire on election Night before heading off in the direction of Chesterfield. The first was nearer to me than the 2nd plane but both were over 1/2 mile away, the resulting photo’s are heavily cropped, Yak’s ? perhaps.
Sorry for the poor quality but it was a dull evening.

1st Plane.

2nd Plane

Thought they may have wanted to vote 😀 but couldn’t get clearance to land :rolleyes: don’t think it would have made any difference, ours is a safe Tory seat :dev2:

I was tempted to say a strange hybrid ‘Kestrel’ powered Yak, looking a pic 1!

Great footage. Can I ask why the groundcrew are checking the skin of the engine nacelles with their bare hands? Just wondering as I’m not technical at all.

Great selection, l like the FlyBe Q400 especially. Whats the story with the Miami Air 737?

767(?) heading over Leighton Buzzard on approach to Luton at 20.20… just passed over my house.

London Gliding Club are busy this afternoon with air tows. A few microlight types out and about too. I also saw an RAF Puma in the Milton Keynes area on Thursday, but flying very low 🙂

Its mighty quiet here with no flights to and from Luton.

Ah those were the days! Its a fascinating photo which would have been taken in the late 1960’s I think. The small building immediately next to the terminal was a cafe which had a little viewing area in front of it. I spend quite a few hours as a kid watching the planes from there. Most movements were Britannia, Monarch and Autair planes, plus a few Dan-Air charters as well as racehorse freighters. McAlpine had a big fleet, near the Dove is either an AeroCommander or possibly their Piaggio P166 which was always a favorite as a kid!
