Why do you reason to believe they may be some missing?

One word......Scunthorpe

[Mayfly]

a bit slow there then or do you now have a new coffee table?

You guessed It is rather large but like the rest of 558 it is a very well oiled piece of machinery. It goes nicely with my maxeret(sp) clock. Before long I will have a complete Vulcan in kit form

Silver Spit over the village about 2 minutes ago.

[Hihonyr8811]

This afternoon we had a lovely flypast from the red arrows (with white smoke on ) and the Silver spit did 3 very nice low passes over our house, still not sure what they were flypasting (is that a word? ) but it was nice that our house was on the way (we think it was St Giles fate).

Saw the silver spit on Saturday over the village and the Lanc yesterday - she had done a flypast over Doncaster somewhere for the dedication of new memorial to a crashed Lanc in 1944 I think it was.

Wow the Typhoon boys are out enjoying themselves today

[Hihonyr8811]

At 17:30 an AWACS took off from Waddington inbound to London.

[Mayfly]

Be interesting to see how long their sortie will be....

[Hihonyr8811]

Yeah, we were thinking the same thing, if Waddington are using r/w 20 I'm hoping to keep en eye out for it coming back
But knowing my luck they won't be

Typhoon up from Coningsby on CAP

[Jigsaw]

Had a Typhoon overhead Scunthorpe today. Hear them sometimes very high up but first time I have actually seen one low enough. Scared the crap out of my neighbour

[Hihonyr8811]

I read somewhere the QRA at North Holt went up the other day, but it was a false alarm and it landed after a few circuits at Marham to burn fuel.


We hardly ever see Typhoons in Lincoln either unless one comes to Waddington.

[Mayfly]

Not a spot but reports of Lynx, Tristar, Pumas, Seaking, Typhoon and Tornado up,

Reds on their way back to Scampton

I currently have 8 gliders thermalling over the factory in North Peterborough!

I guess they are on a cross country competition and trying to get some height for their next leg!

Medium sized 4 engined prop plane over my house a couple of minutes ago, heading in direction of Waddington.
