Flightradar showing BAe Systems T-59 Hawk N511XX (VUS11) departing at 1415 to Reykjavik

I believe all 4 jets. Apparently leaving LN around 11:40L so gas and go to Iceland.

Very rarely but I have seen one now and again.

Nice camera Canon make good cameras, not as good as Nikon but good enough for aviation photography :P :D I read an article on line that suggested Sony make the best mirrorless / Electronic Shutter cameras because they don't need the mechanical expertise built up by Nikon and Canon to construct the ...

Has the Saudi C130 departed
TIA

Yes. Kinda expected it to go today.

Mike

Agree with D7100/D7200 starter. Also consider the Nikon 18-140 which is a good lens and gives a bit more overlap with a 70-300.

05/01/24 ....... 14:21 - ZK356/BS117 "Tarnish 17" (Typhoon FGR.4/41 TES-BAES) Depart R.25 via Performance Takeoff, repositioning for ILS then low overshoot at Blackpool then onwards to Irish Sea Area. Recovery via Cleveleys>St Michaels to join long PAR over Goosnargh for R.25, low overshoot at 15:1...

Used Panamoz many times. Excellent customer service and a 3 year warranty.

Yes, looks like around 1405L departure.

Hi Pete, a fella who works on the ranges so I'd hope he'd be correct as he will be working the traffic.

I’ve heard it is now from 20th Oct till 2nd Nov but I don’t know how accurate the info is.

That's the 2 weeks I've always had down for JW2, not sure where the other ones came from.

Good info thanks, it's done 3 approaches and on a 4th now.

Mike

Allegedly it'll be busier on base from September, but what that actually entails is anyone's guess... Well, we're 66.666' % through September & 4 x Noggie F-35 (now gone) 2 x Alpha-Jets & a single A-4 don't constitute 'BUSY' imo. Still might get something (other than S**t weather) in the next 10 da...

Yes most likely all day.

Lovely 4 ship Hornet launch as Blade 41 flt. 1 x NATO E3 and Italian up too.

Seahornet1 Memory is rather hazy now but, father was crossing the A15 early one morning in 1992, having taken shots of a Sentry departing. Someone decided they were not going to stop at the traffic lights.... Having ran the lights he hit Dad, which from memory knocked him 60ft down the road. He suf...

Algerian AW101 7T-WVB Hex OA4044 currently airborne out of Yeovil Showing call sign of WHE05

Caught it returning at around 17:00.
Mike

Well many thanks guys for all the helpful and useful information, very much appreciated. I think I have enough now to go away and have a long hard think about. My nearest camera shop (Skears Photographic in Northampton) does stock most Nikon tele lenses - new as well as used - so I will pay them a ...

Today the second EH101 for Poland came through Rotterdam. This time ZR287 as WHE20.

second one by Rolph Klijn, on Flickr

I shot ZR285 in primer this afternoon at Yeovil.

We were in Bowness in April,most traffic including hawks,Texans,typhoons,ospreys and Hercules did see an osprey fly through n-s all though it was late evening. In the mach loop aircraft can go the other way round at night so presumably it's the same in the lakes North to South through Dunmail or Th...
