Re: Vale of York 30/8/24

Thank you, possible!! Gut reaction is the noise was deeper than Hawks (I hear red arrows most days!) and they were still at it bang on 6pm as I was waiting to go in a restaurant. Seemed an odd time for anything on a Friday.

Vale of York 30/8/24

Definitely heard fighter jets just before 6pm this evening in Vale of York area. No visuals and no signal to check. All bases seem closed today?! Anyone any ideas?!

Apologies if asked before...does anyone know if there’s anything coming up in October like last year with the hornets and raptors?

Thanks!

Re: F-117 Death valley

June 93 sounds very plausible. I would have been too old (well, 10 lol!) in 1995.

Re: F-117 Death valley

Still not sure I was meant to see it....the American chap who lived over the road didn't let m...

Re: Night Flying

Anyone know if any of the US stuff was causing the din over Lincoln last night? No one seems to know anything, which is unusual!

Noisy 21st Oct

Can anyone shed any light on anything going on last night? I'm pretty close to Scampton but there was a lot of noisy activity around 10pm. Felt like Scampton way on, but obviously way too late (and loud) for the reds. Sure it was fast jet, the noise lingered for a while then came back with a couple ...

Re: Log - 21st August 2014

Brilliant day. Nice to meet milky and as promised I'll start and post rather than just read! So many highlights, and definitely the right choice for wall to wall action!

And to the chap parked next to me, a pleasure to donate my eyes for the day! :)
