I could see two helicopters hovering a couple of miles away when I was out in the garden earlier. This is why.

BBMF Spitfire MK356 very low over Chambers wood (Near Bardney) this afternoon about 15:30
Shame the trees were in the way as I never got a chance to take a photo

[Thumper]

[Nickolas]

Grob Tutor display OVERHEAD,
Lanc Flypast Jeeeeeez It was LOW, (altimeter bust be bust).

All at Essex Air Cadets Wing Parade/Cadet 150 Celebration.
Carver Barracks, Wimbish, Essex (nr Saffron Walden).

[Tom.com]

The Lanc was straight overhead as well, I couldn't believe it, better than an airshow by miles

A white with blue stripe Cessna being towed by car on the A421 in Milton Keynes. Can't remember the reg... Cluny...??

[Cluny]

G-LINK [?] , too busy driving and looking at a small car towing a fuselage down the A421to read the reg

[Thumper]

Well it could be either G-LARK or G-LAKI, both possible as they are Sywell and Cranfield planes. I can't remember what it looked like now so you can have a look at the piccies and see if you can figure out which one it was

[Cluny]

Neither , the fuselage was from a twin
It looked alot like a Cessna 414 or something similar

[Thumper]

Damn!

Cessna 172?

http://www.cixvfrclub.org.uk/membership/trackplane.php?c=G-LINK&t=Cessna%20172R&u=391

It did kinda look like this and even had the same blue stripes! Whaddya think?

[Hihonyr8811]

And you call your selves spotters

[Thumper]

LOL! yeah yeah I know, I'm a cr@p spotter

[Xplumberlives]

I thought the 172 had retractable undercarriage!

[Thumper]

Had 2 low Helicopters over the house today. The first one came over in lovely blue sunny skies the second one came over in the thick of a monumental thunderstorm very low which must have been fun!!

Anyone know what they are and where they would be going? Came here from Oxford direction and heading east.

[Xplumberlives]

First one is a MERLIN and second is a PUMA both from Benson!

[Mayfly]

Nothing - zilch - nil - nought -

not heard a thing today

[RLN]

Saw the Dak, Spit and Lanc fly over the station at about 1000ft. heading home after the St. Paul's flypast.

[Thumper]

Thanks XPL!

The Merlin came over again this afternoon with another in tow. Was an unusually busy day here today with Mil Helicopters!

[Mayfly]

30 mins after posting the above 6 typhoons came over in 3 pairs
