Erfolg Posted December 7, 2022 Share Posted December 7, 2022 Nothing dramatic such as the Antonov. Here, it is the time of thousands of Geese. Being awake at 04:00 hrs, I was surprised that I could hear Geese flying over in the darkness. Everything else is normal traffic, many light aircraft of various manufacture, along with what only can be Typhoons, as really seen (other than an occasional triangle), clearly heard, having just taken of.

Mike Etheridge 1 Posted January 22, 2023 Share Posted January 22, 2023 Last week three double rotor helicopters flew over in line towards Biggin Hill. Also a falcon which may have been a Kite ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leccyflyer Posted March 11, 2023 Share Posted March 11, 2023 Mk 26 "Spitfire" just went over, low and loud - by the time I got to the door with the camera he was about a mile away and launched into a short sequence of gentle aeros and steep turns. Too far away to get any worthwhile pictures any better than a distant silhouette. I'll nab him one day though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrumpyGnome Posted March 15, 2023 Share Posted March 15, 2023 Whilst I was flying this morning, an Apache flew over quite slowly. I was quite excited... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaxG Posted March 15, 2023 Share Posted March 15, 2023 Last week I had a flight of 4 Mirages and separately a couple of F16s. As Indian Mirages and Belgian F16s are currently at Waddington on exercise I guess that is what they were. Haven't seen the Swiss F18s that are supposedly there yet. None of these showed on Flightradar and as they were pretty low I guess they were on VFR as it was a sunny day. Had a US Blackhawk this morning, DUKE51 according to Flightradar24. Nicely different from the usual Typhoons, Ospreys and F15s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrumpyGnome Posted March 30, 2023 Share Posted March 30, 2023 Couple of F35s were doing some intercepts over the village last night - relatively slowly, and doing some tight turns, Spent 15 mins standing on the wall watching them like a schoolboy. My wife was excited watching them through the bedroom window. First time I've seen one 'live'. Wonder if that's what whooshed over low and fast about 30 mins previous......

David P Williams Posted March 30, 2023 Share Posted March 30, 2023 Chinook at about 100ft straight over the house. We’re in the bottom of a valley, it was about 9:30pm and very dark. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
