New car broken down again? :-o

Meeky Chunky - It's the new me!!

She came back on her way home but was a little too far over to the west so the implant doesn't work too well D4th

Hmmmm

Some thing on the back of a trailer all sheeted down going past my home - could have been a Dominie.

Thanks Sherlock! =))

Well I don't have Xray eyes believe it or not! Will have do some investigation but I bet it's the guy who has the Lightning cockpit.

Thankfully! :-o

A few quick shots of some of the gliders taking part in the RAF Championships at RAF Wittering!

On the way to Boston we decided to see the Lancaster off from Coningsby, but were treated to :-

Chinook
2 x 3 ship typhoon formations
Lancaster
and several single Typhoon.

So ten minutes turned into half an hour :))

We weren't AT Coningsby, we were a couple of miles away as like I say, we weren't actually meant to be there =))

Two low hercs this afternoon - seems to have been a few around lately.

Spitfire PR.XIX at Henstridge.

I kid you not he was around 150 ft dead above us, and he was really powering along! B-)

I think the green and grey thingie was on a search and destroy for a certain german automobile. :ymdevil:

Something made a right racket over Lincoln a bit ago.
Anyone know the where abouts of the Arrows? it was either multiple jets of something big =))

Didn't actually see anything.

Hmmm, don't know then.

I don't think it was the Vulcan as I haven't seen them give any updates on Twitter and it sounded like it was above the clouds which I may be wrong but does that rule out the Vulcan?

Only other thing I can think of is a E3D or something.

by **Minty4371** » Sun Aug 26, 2012 2:28 pm

Vulcan depart Doncaster at about 14:50.
Crew is Martin Withers, Kev Rumens, Barry Masefield.
Twitter feed is down. They are updating on Vulcan Homepage under 'Latest News'

by **Mayfly** » Sun Aug 26, 2012 2:31 pm

Crew in for 558 was supposed to be 13,30 takes about 45mins so I would guess take off was about 10 mins ago.

She can fly above cloud as long as she doesn't fly through it - but looking at the sky here it's pretty much total cover.

by **Hihonyr8811** » Sun Aug 26, 2012 2:33 pm

Same here, so now I really don't know =))

by **Mayfly** » Sun Aug 26, 2012 2:34 pm

Actually I'm not sure abut the cloud now - :-?

I've confused myself!! :))

What a shame she doesn't show up on Flight radar :))

Whatever it was flew over my house to West ofHigh Street, above cloud, sure sounded like a the V bird to me.
558 has a limited IMC authority, I believe she can penetrate cloud when necessary, but not as the everyday norm.
