Paul Drake Posted July 4, 2011 Author Share Posted July 4, 2011 Both landing at Yeovilton this afternoon. (The pictures are not mine). The Lynx from HMS Endurance and one of the Wildcat team Lynx. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pzkpfw-e Posted July 4, 2011 Share Posted July 4, 2011 The Hunters were at Waddington this weekend, only 4 flying on Sunday. I saw 6 out practicing last Wednesday. The Lynx with the artwork was at Waddington too, along with a standard coloured one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our daily bread at Yeovilton is of course Sea Kings, Lynx and Hawks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard Farrant Posted July 7, 2011 Share Posted July 7, 2011 Thursday, One sole Red Arrow heading towards the Channel, over South Kent, about an hour later the Red Arrows team came over on the same track. According to their website, they were displaying at an airshow in Belgium. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pzkpfw-e Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 Red Arrows will be at Koksijd (Spelling?) Thunderbirds going too, so you might see them flying over. Here's a few from Waddington. I was sitting in my chair, in a hedge bottom near the end of the runway. Better views of most of the fliers than those who paid to attend!

Paul Drake Posted July 9, 2011 Author Share Posted July 9, 2011 It wasn't my birthday today but it could have been! BBMF Lancaster and Spitfire MK365 flypast at Sedgemoor Vintage Rally (while on their way to Yeovilton Air Day) but didn't have the camera. And back home had the Vulcan come round by the flat, 100 feet or less! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Drake Posted July 9, 2011 Author Share Posted July 9, 2011 :wow: nice piccy of the Vulcan and Sea Vixen Thanks for posting Mark Happy to share it with others. I was lucky to get it. I had been waiting for it to come in since Tuesday and was following progress on Facebook. It didn't actually come in until Friday due to a mechanical problem at Waddington. When I got home today from Sedgemoor Vintage Rally, I found on Facebook from other users that her display was due about six minutes later, grabbed the camera and went outside and bingo. So thanked all those on Facebook for all the up to date info. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Drake Posted July 15, 2011 Author Share Posted July 15, 2011 Avro Vulcan XH558 leaving RNAS Yeovilton for RIAT Fairford, did a short display before disappearing. Lots of happy people on the road at the western end of the runway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
