That is a truly beautiful image. That would work as a large print hung on my wall. Beautiful.

Re: St Mawgan Open Day 1978
Wonderful images! Remember my first “in the flesh” encounter with a F-111 - walking home from school along a particularly quiet road, got assaulted by a V low F-111 that went directly over me at about 200ft from my direct 6 o’clock. Never even heard it approach. When I extricated myself from a bush,...

Isn’t that the same bird that had bits of a canopy come off during flight at EAA couple weeks ago?

Re: Large fireball?
With respect, Gary, how can you guesstimate it's height when you have now idea of it's size? It could have been thousands of miles away etc., Just curious. No offence. John. :) None taken fella :thumb: Guesstimate taken from a rough assumption due to a friend in Porlock (West of Minehead) who also ...

Re: Large fireball?
As long as it wasn’t Hinkley Point! It would have been more or less across it, guesstimate 10-14000ft. At a guess travelling from approximately Highbridge area across Hinckley, and onward in a SW heading. Something in flames on a downwards trajectory - the remnants of Boris 'Crash and Burn' Johnson...

Large fireball?
I’m in Bridgwater, Somerset, and just now (23:43) saw out to the NW a large fireball heading roughly SW. Lasted around 20 ish seconds and was relatively slow moving. Checked ADS-B for any civil or mil flights, and save a couple airliners like EZY82PY, which would have seen it off the nose (heading d...

Re: The F-35 is nice.... however...
How blessed we were, aircraft with character, aircraft in more than just monotone grey, types created by artistic designers. Now it’s verging on one colour, one type, designed by unfeeling computer. I love to see images like these, hear the howl, smell the fuel and burger stands, take in the lines o...
