Thanks so much for posting this - I had no idea this event had occurred so close to here. (Before I lived in the area sadly).
Just the thought of an SR-71 low over Filey Bay !! Spine tingling!!

Thanks to FC, and 360radar, managed to see the flight pass by at altitude.... awesome sight. Didnt realise till after that the vapour trails were expensive avgas being dumped !! Couple of stills from the short video I made of it........ [see Videography section for that] http://img.photobucket.com/a...

Captured as they passed a little west of Scarbs....... several F-15s dumping gas hence the trails whilst others arent....

So chuffed to see them with the eyeball........!

Well, after watching a hundred other videos of it, finally tried it for myself......! FIrst day (got there midday) was a write off: with too high winds and squally showers. Tuesday I climbed up the hill around 8.30am (about 15 others there) and basically spent nine hours trying not to freeze to deat...

Hello Graham

No worries at all - and nice to meet you (so to speak!)

It was a great few hours (very) early that morning.... !

best of luck

Please take a look if you have time :) PROXGb5JMD8 Thanks Alan PS You only get the "fullscreen" option when viewing in YouTube (and not in the preview window above) heres the lin...

Hi folks, I made the trip down to Fairford for a couple days hoping to catch all the visiting bombers - and caught a bit of all three - despite my only full day there turning out to be the "rest" day (groan.......) However the early morning of the last day was just great - hello to the small bunch o...

Captured during Monday 12ths "rest day" this was an interesting sight - thought it worth posting....... regards AL (and yes 'blokes' includes some ladies.......) http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v738/albur/ssaver10.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v738/albur/...

Glad that this topic has been raised - I loathe litter! However I am not sure how much difference our collective "disgust" will actually make. I think we need to lead by example. I will be doing one of my 3-4 visits a year to LN thurs aft/fri morning this week. (F-35s pleease dont fly away!) I will ...

I'm in a very similar situation - planning on coming down thursday and friday.... (27th/28th)

Fingers crossed they dont stray too far away and keep flying regular !

Thanks to all who keep the movements postings up to date its a great help for those of us some distance away .....

cheers

"I guess it's something between a £250 modern mini-type camcorder on tripod, up to a £1500 fully lensed-up DSLR. I haven't go a clue what I really require TBH" Hi Jon So... maybe go for the cheaper option - then get out & about using it for x months and start developing your technique? I bet after 6...

Hello Jon Glad to hear you are thinking of getting serious about videoing planes! You have quite alot of choices to make ! Palm held "Camcorders" -Built in-lens usually with good long zoom -Powered zoom - a weak spot of amateur video-ers is endless "zooming in" , "zooming out" etc etc -Very portable...

Hi all, I paid a visit to see these on Thursday (13th) (White Toyota Auris if you were in the car park!) And have edited up a video of Gripen action we were treated to that day - and the rain showers too! Shot from the viewing area, and in the afternnon also the lanes around the Sewage works / Scrap...

Hi all, For those who cannot make to Leeming, below is a video of Gripen action as filmed by myself on Thursday 13th October. Shot from the viewing area, and also the lanes around the Sewage works / Scrapyard (its a lovely area!) at the RW16 end. https://youtu.be/nIpIaVZJWgk Kit is a Panasonic GH4 c...

Many thanks for taking the time to post these.

Great to hear what went on in this neck of the woods in years gone by (before I moved here.......)

Cheers

Hello there PowderBlue Dont let the fact you are not close to an airfield put you off ! When aircraft are cruising at altitude (eg "vapour trails") you can pick them up at 100-150 miles range..... so you can always get something. Civil aircraft on the "airways" (motorways in the sky) are probably th...
