Odd one today - 5 planes, flying in arrowhead formation, but at what looked like Jet cruising altitude - 30k to 35k feet

Nothing on the usual flight tracking sites…

F35s returning to RAF Marham apparently.

Fucking loud plane woke me up at 6.20 this morning. Not on Flightradar, obvs. Turns out it was a pair of USAF B1-Bs: https://www.gloucestershirelive.co.uk/n ... af-8479658

Very nice

Wonder if they would have shown on https://globe.adsbexchange.com/ ?

[Jobbo]

That's what I meant - I don't actually use Flightradar. Not on there.

I was walking my dog on the beach at New Romney and noticed that a lot of the light aircraft approaching/departing Lydd were not on ADSB or Flightrader.

Edit - Just remembered that the Spitfires which fly around Kent are also not on radar.

It might have been mentioned already but ADSB has been sold. A new "ADSB" has already launched, apparently by one of the original creators of the old ADSB. The coverage isn't quite as good yet but should improve.

As I got home about half an hour ago, I heard what sounded like a private jet from Gloucestershire airport. But when I saw it I realised it was more unusual. Not on ADSBexchange but I managed to get a photo.



I assume RIAT is on today? ETA no, it’s Ragley Hall air show this weekend. I was much closer to there earlier and didn’t see any aircraft flying at all.
Think the plane is a De Havilland Vampire.

Another excellent analysis. Fascinating . Terrifying . Nervous flyers should avoid, or watch right to the very end.

I saw that too.

We had a Saab draken fly over in its way back to Sweden from the midlands air festival on Sunday. Unfortunately too cloudy to see it, the shape of those is amazing- another fighter jet that look like it shouldn’t be able to fly, and wouldn’t look amount of place on an old episode of thunderbirds

I took a load of a Spitfire/Hurricane fly past on Saturday.



Edit - it’s a Spitfire with an interesting story. P7350 is the only one of its type still airworthy that flew in the Battle of Britain

[nuttinnew]

Ah good, I would have missed them anyway then so not such a miss.

Heard something droning away, and what do you know;
