AAC Gazelle over Rayleigh just before 5pm, heading N.W. It had apparently been around about an hour before, so may
have visited Southend Airport to refuel ?
Hi All,
I particularly like the chap in the orange shirt on his step ladders waving to the pilot, talk about dangerous putting pilot and those around him in danger as the Pilot would obviously concentrating on missing him instead of landing the aircraft, bleeding prat :confused:Geoff.
I doubt the pilot even saw them. Let alone took any notice.
Nice picture. I haven’t seen any noctilucent clouds for a couple of years. We had a period of several days when they were visible from about 11pm. On one occasion going from the horizon to directly overhead.
Remember these turkeys
It would be fair to assume that some of those people ended up with permanently damaged hearing.
Although didn’t the Russians used to cloud-seed using Silver Iodide.
So as to try and avoid rain at the Red Square parades ?
Allegedly 🙂
BBMF Spitfire P7350 was at Southend this afternoon.
I may just go up on the Thursday, weather permitting.
Didn’t the YellowJacks continue for some time afterwards, as a pair of aircraft ?
Or maybe I am confusing them with another team ?
Only one other comment. Personally I would prefer it if they went back to just white smoke.
RWB looks good at a distance, but at low altitude just creates a “muddy mess”.
Although as far as focus goes, wouldn’t camera lenses at that time, have had a very good depth of field ?
Looking very………. shiny 🙂
Will it stay like that ?
It no doubt boils down to “jobsworth” security guards, having absolutely no idea of what it is they are supposed to be guarding.
My biggest memory of going to an airshow at North Weald, was seeing a formation of four lightnings.
Those were the days.
Great thread loved it. My mum was a stewardess for Channel 1966-69 so really enjoyed seeing these

So was my sister Steve, although maybe a few years later.
Operation Yewtree has certainly had some high profile convictions. Although unless there are more revelations to come,
it doesn’t seem as though they are spreading their net very wide. It only seems to be celebrities they are after ?, or is
it that those are the only ones the media think we should know about ?
What about those within the BBC itself, who knew what was going on, and maybe were themselves involved ?
Little has been said about politicians who were involved with Savile, including an ex-Tory PM who had a thing about
little boys.
I can only assume you mean these ?
