Up for an hour.

They ARE showing

Yep but as a single plane.
The timing of it all is a bit odd, I’d have thought they would aim for London at either 11am or 3pm.

Disappointing that their path kinked around out village so we could hear but not see them. Very very cool site though thanks.

We were looking at the map for the red arrows thinking they wouldn’t come too near - then there was a rumble and they flew right over the garden!

Crap photo because I wasn’t expecting them within half a mile of where they were!

The Eurofighter is doing a few things over Lincolnshire...

looking out for the Spitfire(s) around Bracknell at 12:15 supposedly

i heard one, I’m not quite close enough to Bracknell to see it though. We did have a yellow bi-plane flat over though.

Coast guard has been very busy the past few days, I think the population of England is about to get a bit of a bump

Heard a bit of a rumble in the early hours and had a look, three of these buggers flying about






On their way up north

USAF are pissfarting about over our bit of Norfolk and nothing showing sadly.

The osprey is out and about, but hasn't come over us yet this morning.

I've been finding it fascinating seeing what's going on, just wish it was a bit more mobile friendly or they had an app.

HM Coastguard seem to have forgotten where the water is! :p

And it just flew over us about 200 m down the road

edit: well, it just did a loop of Basingstoke

Couple of weird ones today, this one this morning, seems to have come from an airfield where I know they fly gliders from, but surely not at 70,000 ft?



And this one this evening, no id. Was a large grey passenger style jet, came overhead as it lined up for mildenhall then vanished a few miles out

I've seen two gliders over the last week showing as being at 70k feet as well.

Anyone else noticed how many fecking private planes are about?! Drove me nuts yesterday, like a swarm of bees. Little shitboxes doing what must be like 70mph just flying in circulars

Just seen another aircraft at this altitude!

Not convinced by this one either
