    Following my posting of this quest elsewhere.:o;..the suggestion seems to be G-WATR…which I suspect could well tally with our sighting..:)

    The hurricane ended up staying over night at EK due to a band of horrendous weather that came through at about 1800. The first Hurri to stay in a hangar at EK i believe. Departed EK at approx 0815 (?) on the glorious sunday morning.

    It certainly sounded well.:)…I was hearing it very clearly at the South end of Spilsby…

    Thank you,
    Clive.

    and I saw the Hammond pair over Howden.

    Ah, this could perhaps explain what my work collegue saw at the weekend over Bratoft E. Lincs….she suggested BBMF but I had a feeling they were not about that way…so I suggested a pair of Mustangs….could have been..she said..;)

    ..and I still haven’t got to see one.!!

    ..but I’m happy with my chance spotted F86-A and Hurricane too this weekend.;) I had expected the BBMF visit to be Spitfire…so the Hurricane was a sort of chance spot too:)

    Have just shot out into the garden on hearing a light sounding jet….was that the F86 that I spotted going South.??…passing just East of Spilsby 5-26pm…

    Might explain the light sounding jet that I did not see going North just after lunchtime.??

    Clive.:)

    A quick web search suggests…..to and from BAE Brough Families day.??

    1-30pm-ish today G-ASMJ (I think I read)….orbiting my works location at Gunby, E.Lincs…. it may not quite fit the Historic forum.:confused:…but then it is almost as old as me;)

    Should we expect a knock on the door some day soon with a photo;)
