May the skies be clear and blue and the wind fair with a guiding star to steer by.

Very nice set of images. The two apaches look very menacing against that sky. Where abouts were the SPTA shots taken if you don't mind me asking? I'm not far from there

Because they are owned and maintained by a civilian company.
Re: A few from the South of England of late.
Have you never heard of the 'Magic Circle'? If everybody knew how to do the trick....It wouldn't be Magic?
Both the C-130 & Chinook with 'calibration marks' operate out of Boscombe Down. As I assume nobody has come forward with any info' on locations in the last few weeks, I could tell you in confidence on a 'need to know' basis. Don't even think about breaking the 'RULES' when you go there. The Range Wardens will berate/ticket you, the enthusiasts will lynch you! (for a first offence) Any subsequent offence involves stuff too graphic for here.
Oh! Deptford 130 & Everleigh Chinook. Schhhhh!

It’s not what you look at that matters. It’s what you see.
Re: A few from the South of England of late.
I did actually private message the member who asked about information and also mentioned to help him out in future with locations if need be so ssshhhhhhhhhh.Supra wrote: ↑Mon Jun 18, 2018 1:52 pmHave you never heard of the 'Magic Circle'?
