Minty I was going on the post Sam made on the club forum re a 13.30 crew in.

Theres something about Helen I can hear it and even tho' the cloud has broken I still can't see anything.

Just got buzzed at fairly low level by a Spitfire . Small display followed by wing wave as she headed out towards Stamford. It was EB G. The one with the yellow diamond on the wing.







Apologies for the quality of the photos . They were a snapshot from the video.

I had her on the Scanner all the way to E.mids, Waddington said mind the gliders at Langar, so I'm guessing they went down the A46

Cluny just said on facebook she's been over Silverstone.

I'm just glad someone else heard something and it's not me going mad.

I would have said it [whatever it is] doing large circuits as it seemed to be regular as opposed to a constant noise level.

558 Over our house I may have squealed a bit
1st time since she returned to flight that we have seen her over the house, we've always been else where.
Mum is VERY happy

[Minty4371]

Well done Helen and your mum for seeing XH558 .
May see her in a couple of weeks.

[Hihonyr8811]

In hindsight, I should have gone in the back garden where there's less stuff to get in the way

[Minty4371]

Someone has just said that XH558 was near me, before going Sleaford direction, then to Waddington on the way back. May see her over Spalding on 8th September, but won't know where it is routing before I leave the house in the morning of the 8th.

.

She was , very surprised and was unprepared .
Only knew she was there when everyone suddenly pointed their camera upwards
Had to do a link as Facebook have made the pic to big to be embedded here

Meteor T7 WA591 over Bicester heading back to Coventry after appearing at Dunsfold this afternoon

[Hihonyr8811]

Watched 558 do a circle and climb out over Metheringham but we were 5 miles away and driving at the time so no pics, 4 seconds of vid of her at the end of my EK vid but it won't be up till tomorrow.

It would have been Timberland Helen

but not far away - you have a good sense of direction

[Hihonyr8811]

Not a bad guess I thought it might have been over the airfield visitors centre, but close enough

We were lucky we were on the river road and had a good view over the fields, 5 minutes earlier/later and we'd have missed her.

Cant see much wrong with the Vulcan shot - very nicely captured

Nice little visit to Elvington by the BBMF Silver Spit on Monday, very much appreciated

South bound on the A1 yesterday near Newark were 3 RAF Cadet Gliders being towed in their little trailer things.

Called trailers!

Here's a lovely photo of one of the Trent Power stations (that name escapes me right now) taken from the Lincoln edge.

Oh and some Triangle thing got in the way (you may need a magnifying glass and no it's not the dust spot )

558 doing a flypast over RAF Bicester from my bedroom this afternoon , sadly I found out too late to be able to get there in time .
