Re: Garden spotting OTT'ers
I heard a familiar 'whooping' noise this afternoon so grabbed the camera and managed to snap this before they returned to Kemble.

All I can say is Wow wow wow! Not the best photo I've ever seen on here, but what a capture!


Re: Garden spotting OTT'ers
Well done phil. I have similar photo, and a couple of the KC-10 Hoist 90 and the pair of Quids that refueled the B2 as they were tracking down West .phat01 wrote:managed to catch the B-2 re-fuelling over Newquay![]()

Military traffic is something of a rarity in South East Kent but here's an AAC Apache.

Re: Garden spotting OTT'ers
On a boat in the Norfolk Broads a couple of weeks back, Sunday 8th June to be precise. (So technically speaking it was my back garden) I saw these high up and took a snap or two. It wasn't till I got home and started editing that I realized what I'd seen !!

Amazing what you can see on a Sunday !!
I also saw the rehearsals for the Trooping of the colour off of the Great Yarmouth coast about 15 miles away, I'll find them and post a couple too.
