Wokka and a C-130, well it sounded like one anyway, low over here today

[SnailRFC]

Not too up on my commercial aircraft, but driving down to Reading last Saturday around lunchtime there was something, possibly a 737 or 757 or smaller buzzing in and out of Lyneham, doing low level circuits, passed overhead twice but was in the outside lane both times and got no sunroof!

2 pumas low & slow overhead yesterday afternoon heading south west

Been a very busy day here today, a Nimrod, 2 tornado's flying together low and fast. a series of hawks, some tucannos and a puma.

Will see loads tomorrow at Robin hood Airport.

I saw a Dakota flying VERY low to keep under the clouds over the M18 had landing lighs on........ and door open, looked like the one from Humberside airport

Well I haven't seen it that low EVER, they looked like they were fighting to stay below the clouds.


Note to pilot, please fly that low at the airshows

Probably a MUDMOVER pilot on a check flight, they are used to staying close to the ground!!!!!

I bet there wasn't a lot spotted today.

Not had any any of the usual airlines in obviously, but loads of people have been up in their light aircraft making the most of the free airspace here.


EDIT: flying over the house now, I'm rather jealous!

[Xplumberlives]

Yes similar story at Wittering, only a few lawnmowers going over, two ground runs were carried out on Harriers around lunchtime, just to prove whatever work had been carried out in the hangar!
