I couldn't find it on screen but just had a Spitfire and close companion 'plane fly low over the house, the Spit' then splitting, doing a couple of rolls, and scooting off at speed

Saw something a bit odd today.

Looked like a glider, very long spindly wings, but was flying straight and level and a noise like a single jet engine, unless there was a jet further away I couldn’t see.

Unfortunately I was arms deep in car parts and didn’t have time to get a vid or check the radar.

Late lastnight the raf were doing escort training into Teesside airport. Was great following them on here and counting the second pairing in- next one in 3,2,1 whoosh

Out again tonight, same pattern as before, first plane with a double escort, second with a single

^ Must've made a nice change to the usual sounds.

Just had three small prop planes fly over in formation, can see them on F24 or ADS-Bexchange
They might have been fighters, might not, but I can't even a lone plane that's flown that way

The company that owns the planes they were escorting apparently specialise in modified aircraft for border protection. They must have a base at Teesside because they’ve been out loads lately, about 3-4 aircraft- normally landing one after the other, looks weird on the tracker seeing them flying into the airport almost in convoy

and a couple of Spitfires - though I thought a couple more were up - and I heard something else interesting but can't find anything that seems to fit

All I saw was a silhouette at a distance, but it was a Lancaster so I consider that a win
It landed at Southend airport and Folkestone airshow is on tomorrow so I'll try and get a better view in the morning.

^ Woop, same again on its return today

A valiant attempt at teh c0ck & balls;

Noisy night. As if the massive thunderstorm wasn’t enough, we’ve just been buzzed twice at 6100ft by a Boeing B52 stratofortress. Sounds like it might be coming round a third time.

It did circle round again but a few miles away rather than right over us. There were two B52s visible in fact, both having come from Brize Norton and been to somewhere Middle East ish and back - the historic tracking was glitchy so I couldn’t see exactly where. At least the other didn’t buzz us. Noisy buggers.

I don't normally see a press release about the planes that fly over

Surprised that the US still does that. Comes across as a bit Russian

They also displayed over the south coast;




Bourneran? Bournemouthgrad? Whichever, the new Cold Wars is too close to home.

I remember when bush started shock and awe when he moved into Iraq and Afghanistan they flew regularly over Teesside late evening and early night. Really unique noise

Liz on her return. Probably.
edit: that was Boris, Liz is on KRF16

I know we're having a lot of rain, but...;
