RAF C-130 very, very low flypast

Post by cottesmore09 » Mon Apr 30, 2012 10:34 pm

Hi all well i call it my personal Birthday flypast but at 18:30 a C-130 flew straight over my house banking left only 200/300ft of my roof top easy! Before still decending toward Cottesmore and pulling up over the hangar :clap:

WOW was the wording!!

No camera ready :'(

Interesting,
FYI
0905hrs a Merlin at +/- 150ft over Oakham heading towards Cottesmore then banked right to go along the North shore of
Rutland Water;
1435hrs, in cloud but low, two fast jets travelling West-East at high speed.

And I thought that this part of the world had become an aircraft desert.
