Re: Kings birthday flypast / practice
I always watch from Battersea Park, plenty of car parking thats not too much of a rip off and there are food and toilets.

Re: Yeovil (Westland) sightings 2022
This Merlin in a bag was seen on the M3 near Farnborough this afternoon about 4pm. Assume this is one of ZR342 or ZR347 probably heading to Stansted? Any ideas.

Re: Queens birthday Flypast
Hi do we yet have an exact time for the flypast over Buckingham Palace I am hearing anything from 12:30 to 1? I will be driving up to Battersea Park as I watched the 100 flypast from there. Cheap parking and quite easy to get to from my direction. On the 100th the helicopters broke south directly ov...

Re: Lakenheath viewing guide.
I went last Tuesday and arrived around 8-10am got parked in the forest entrance no problem but too much later it would have been a struggle. You may still be OK around 8-30am. No issues that I saw with parking there, just be careful as there are a few large holes in some areas that I heard people s...

2x Apache on M40 into Brize 7/9?
Around 11:30am today I followed 2x Apache's on the M25 and they turned off onto the M40. One was ZJ218, but despite two attempts, I could not see the serial on the second machine. Presume they were inbound Brize?

Re: RAF Odiham
Best spot for seneral viewing is the layby on the minor road to the south of the field. You are not particually close to them , as nowhere is, and the field is humped back but its the best of a bad job.

Re: Yeovil(Westland) Sightings Autumn/Winter 2019/20
Any help with a Norwiegen AW101 seen inbound from the A303 about 13:00? Didn't bother with going the long way becuase I thought nothing would be flying due to the weather, typical!

Apaches 10x 26/6
Sure many people saw these but any idea on 4+4+2 Apaches routing wattisham-Middle Wallop? on the afternoon of 26/6. Routed over central London then down the M3. Supposed to be a deployment for a exercise.
