Great shots of quite a rare visitor down this end of the country, though we have been lucky over the past few weeks with the SwissAF helicopters and currently the French.Thanks for posting

Very interesting set of photos. Not an opportunity we get too often on these shores.
Well done

Thanks Chris and Mo for all the updates this week. I'm planning a trip up tomorrow to try my luck, would Sandy Lane car park be the best place to park for the Burrows?

Hi Chtis
If my records are up to date then the Tigre's should be 2011/BHM & 6010/BJJ. Both different than the 2 visible when they left Devonport on Sunday.

HMNB Devonport has been host to a small fleet of Assault/LPD ships over the past weekend for some upcoming exercises. Not as many helicopters on view that I would have liked considering how much deck space there was, but, still a few interesting bits to be seen. As well as what I've posted there was...

Great shots, shame I'm nearly 200 miles away, so would have been impractical to get down there. Out of interest, on the assumption that they've not all gone tech and have departed, does anyone know when they left?
MTIA.

They stayed about 90mins before departing southbound to Caen

4 x MC130 outside at 0730 were 09-6207 12-5759 13-5776 13-5778 + 1 visible ( unid) in the hangar viewed from Pollards Lane. Thanks for the Ospreys, a big help👍

Very nice.
Happy hunting in the future

You've got a steady hand.
Nice shots

"you can't just change the rules cos it suits." Unfortunately the powers that be that run F1 do change the rules to suit their narrative when it suits. We've seen it a few times over the last few seasons. Abu Dhabi 2021 being a prime example. This is one reason F1 fans are turning away from the spor...

Nice. I like the last shot looking along the flight deck

Pm sent

A couple of Canadian visitors have called in to Newquay over the last few days. Firstly on 12th a CP140 , which I believe had an issue on its way to RIAT. Then on Sat.15th a CC177 paid a visit with, I guess, support for the Aurora. It gave me a chance to ensure my camera didn't have any adverse effe...

England lost by just 43 runs, that's probably the runs that they failed to get in the first innings thanks to some undisciplined batting from the top order when they were getting into a good position to put some pressure on the opposing team.
Ah well, on to Headingley

On their way to participate in the Kings flypast.
2 participants ZH843 and ZH862 and 1 spare ZH861

Here is a list of the weekends events

The only flying mentioned is the display on Saturday p.m.

Excellent set. You got more colour than I managed, and great prop blur.

Between us I think we managed a good record of their brief visit

A couple of record shots of yesterday's visit of two 's C12V 's from the US Army at Exeter for a quick gas n' go. Grey airplanes against a nondescript sky doesn't make for the most exciting of photos. Irrespective of that they were very welcome visitors to this end of the country, please come back a...

Gah, it's just a one shot affair. No re-dos. Anyone got photos from a previous flypast up the mall that gives an idea of what the view is like from the river? This was taken at last year Queen's Platinum Jubilee flypast from the Millennium Bridge using a 300mm. It is a decent location away from the...
