OV9

“Cobra warrior” multi national exercise is on tonight, night flying until about 12/1am. Lots already in the air already

Had a Chinook scoot past at speed a couple of hours ago (it's now by Bath), I wonder if it's involved?
Ooh, a Eurofighter; https://globe.adsbexchange.com/?icao=43c7a6

Jobbo; you're gagging for it to be Misha, aren't you.

Hadn’t actually crossed my mind but that made me giggle

Don’t think I I’ve seen as many typhoons in the air at once on the trackers before, loads of big military aircraft flying about and 4 Canadian f18’s knocking about too

Thanks for the reminder

Fao MarineTraffic fans. Spotted a big old yacht in Dartmouth today; it’s a 59m super yacht named Akula, flag is Cayman Islands and it launched in 2024. Not a looker, IMO:

Today's understatement was brought to you by Jobbo.

I'm sure it's sumptuous inside though.

I first saw it from the stern as I came into Dartmouth. Walked round and got back to the harbour side - to see what still appeared to be a stern at the other end. A very odd bow shape indeed.

That pic. looks Scandiwegian; bleak, with something readying to go north exploring the icy waters.

The water was lovely and blue a few minutes before. I took those photos and we headed swiftly back to the car. Then it rained like fuck.

I know you've gone to Dartmouth but I bet it made you Kingswear
It doesn't matter which bit where or when, it wouldn't be a GB/UK holiday without rain...
