    I deleted that post 20 minutes after relising I’ve never actually heard a VC-10 take off. 🙂 How long did it take you to compose that reply?!

    Anyway, that aside, the one that flew over my house last night had certainly not left the runway in the last 20 seconds, and it shook the windows in my house.

    😀 A long time lol I had to go and do something which took me 10 mins to do :rolleyes: .Was there at VC 10 in a LBA at all?

    The reason the Panavia Tornado ADV is going to be retired in only 3 years more in 2009

    GR4 or F3?

    The Jaguar is being phased out right now…
    The reason for this and the coming end for the Tornado ADV is called Eurofighter.

    So the RAF are going to just have the Eurofighter and the Harrier in its fast jet fleet?

    Nearest airports to LBA are going to be RAF LEEMING, Durham tees valley i think, if any of the LBA crew want to correct me on this go ahead.

    RAF Leeming that a brilliant RAF Base been there loads off times. Don’t know if it is close to LBA at all RAF Linton on Ouse Might be closer but I don’t Know if big RAF jets got there

    They only appear to be loud on take-off because they’re climbing rapidly, and the further away from the plane you are, the less sound hits you. Of course, they generally use more thrust on take-off than cruise, but it’s still not going to be quiet. If it’s flying relatively low even two hours after take-off it will still be VERY loud!

    Paul

    Mate I spent two hours at RAF Brize Norton on my hoilday in cotswold the only time I found them to be loud was on Take off.When they flew over are cottage we was staying at they where not loud at all but then again it could be me. I love RAF Brzie Notron I wish we go back to cotswold next year so I can visit again and see me the lovely VC-10’s before they retire 🙁

    I was going to say the loud noise lasted to long to be a fast jet.

    Not really you can hear a Tornado GR4 & Tornado F3 for a long time and they are very loud wish I had one :diablo: , don’t know if it was a RAF VC 10 they are only very loooud when they take off. What airport is near LBA?

    Another full-scale resuce opearation is underway in the South, hopefully it will be another hoax: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/5067006.stm

    Wozza

    Sorry mate I don’t think this one is a Hoax, the other resuce was not a hoax ever just a pilot saw a low-flying plane which was taking pictures when pilot looked again he could not see it So he thought it had crashed and called HM Coastgard.

    Have to wait and see 🙁
