Anything out of Brough today 06/02/11 ?

Post by benyboy » Sun Feb 06, 2011 4:00 pm

I was out around Welton and Brantingham today, having a wonder. I heared a lot of noise coming from Brough. Did anybody see anything ? I was in the woods at the time.

Cheers

Ben

I didn't hear anthing go and it was a bit gusty today, but they could have been engine testing, although they have a hush house if it's cloudy the sound sometimes comes back to ground. Regards Paul.

Benyboy, should make the most of it, they will be turning it into a retail park soon :(

I would like to see the place 'active' at least once more before this happens though, if anyone can give a heads up on here. I will be sure to take a camera.

There was supposed to be a flight yesterday, but ditched it due to the wind. Heard on the scanner this morning that they are carrying out a runway inspection, so my guess is there will be a flight today, would've popped down, but on a late shift!!

Also heard at 0939 they have just completed a FODPLOD, so, odds on there is going to be a flight!
