Dominies

[Mayfly]

This is their last week and I understand a 6 ship is up Tuesday, anyone heard anything different?

[XR219]

Yup, I've heard it's Thursday!

[Mayfly]

I heard Thursday was their last day - so perhaps Tuesday is a practice then, that would make sense.

[Hihonyr8811]

Wnder if that's why two were flying in formation on Friday late afternoon over Bardney (Lincs).

I heard a rumour one was heading to Brunty.

I hear a lot of rumours up there though

[Mayfly]

Yeah I think a lot is a cross between wishful thinking and presumption

[Gaz]

It wasn't DW that wanted one. One of the GJD lads mentioned it. Like you say, wishful thinking me thinks

This may put them over Gilberdyke, so the cameras will be primed and ready.

[Jigsaw]

I'm hoping to make it to the Barton side of the bridge but it is very close to the school run typically.

Just checked the forecast for Hull tomorrow, so it should be around the same at the bridge.

[Mayfly]

It was foggy down here today and I was told it was going to be all week - keep your fingers crossed!!

[Mayfly]

Sunny this morning with cloudless sky but very hazy - vis not that good!

[Sploosher]

bright sky with a little bit of light cloud here at the mo, looking good for a flypast over the Humber Bridge, just like the Red Arrows do for the Great North Run in Newcastle

[Jigsaw]

If they had gone over the Humber Bridge

They were a fair way further up the Humber when they flew across (twice).
My lens is cr@p as it is but would have needed a 1000mm prime for the distance they were away

This is all I saw



So I edited it



Not quite right though. 6 Domino's and a chase Plane

[Xplumberlives]

It would appear that the "CHASE PLANE" is leading!

[Mayfly]

NoTAM for tomorrow!!

Looks like Caenby Corner is nearest for you Thursday Jigs & thats not very close!!

thanks for Fighter Control

[Jigsaw]

It would appear that the "CHASE PLANE" is leading!

No, they were going the other way

[Xplumberlives]

No, they were going the other way

In that case, I expect to see an RAF Enquiry Board looking in to the incident!

[Hihonyr8811]

They did two passes over the Cathedral, but that was as close as they came to me. Reds were out at the time and so the Dominies were told to remain clear of the airspace (obviously ) and we are right on the very edge of the reds airspace so they were just tiny dots in the distance
But at least I saw them.

[Olicat]

Now that's what i call a lens!

[Sploosher]

Now that's what i call a lens!

wanna know the price

Last time I heard, it was going for $120,000 seeing as though it is a specialty lens........
