Two V22 Ospreys have just flown over my house. I noticed how noisy they were hence going to look.

ABC News: The last Boeing 747 leaves a flourish in the sky as it says goodbye to Australia.

The Evo forum really is a shadow of its former self. I remember when the internet was for the elite and now they seem to let any spastic on

Ba have binned theirs off too. Was surprised there wasn’t a thread on here about it.

Sad times, they’re fantastic beasts, and still an impressive sight.

Aye :(
At least they got to give theirs a send off, unlike BA (not surprising really, he never liked 'planes) :(

Was tracking the F1 camera helicopter on Sunday. Also saw the Spitfire flying around the circuit but I was expecting it to come round to do a flypast over the start/finish straight and was waiting for that to take a screenshot, but it just flew around the perimeter of the circuit.

As always, wish it worked for USAF.

In the last few days in Norfolk I've seen.

Four F15 in close line abreast
An F15 and maybe an F16 or maybe a jet trainer VERY close, maybe some display training or air to air photography?
A light cargo plane way below usual height headed eff knows where. So loud I actually had time to go outside and get my phone out for a snap.

Police in helicopter are v f noisy, can feel it at times. I don't know if I want to know what they're up to (other than whether they caught them or not). I can't see them on FR though :(

Follow them on Twitter. Our local service are pretty responsive when people ask why they're flying over.

Just had a Spitfire barrel roll in front of the house :o :D 8-)
Another couple have flown past individually over the hours. Hearing them one at a time it's difficult to pick which engine they've got.
