On Friday 17th June, 2011 this arrived at Lossie after the caravan had packed up and we had all gone home. Good thing I caught it from my back garden :)

Complete blue skies on Tuesday meant I caught the Typhoons streaming fantistically.... I heard them pull out of low level on the scanner and then within seconds I could see two streams miles over too the west, i'd love too know were they were at this point because it took a good 3 minutes or so before they were above me in Wolverhampton, i then watched them for another few minutes as they went east bound and turned... great sight :thumbs:

Not the best quality... ZH451 from RAF Wattisham has spent the last hour going backwards and forwards over Brightlingsea, Essex. Looks like it is trying to pinpoint something?

I remember this happening a few months ago when some numpty accidentally set off a locator beacon! I wonder if that is the case today as there are also a lot of Police driving around.
