Paul Drake Posted March 23, 2012 Author Share Posted March 23, 2012 At about 14.30 today, doing circuits around Yeovilton, the BAC 111 ZH763 from Boscombe Down came over the flat with a suitably loud roar. Luckily it went round again, by which time I had got the camera out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Drake Posted March 23, 2012 Author Share Posted March 23, 2012 I was very lucky to get this. I might put it up on Flickr as well as it's the last one flying in the UK and not always spottable. As a classic aircraft other spotters might appreciate it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rog8811 Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 (edited) I work half a mile from RAF Headley court, helicopter activity is not unusual but todays deafening visitors were a sight to behold, it started with a regal flyover from a Sikorsky MH-53. Followed by a fully loaded Apache which landed then a few minutes later lifted off and bugged out towards the south..... I was in and out of the field centre like a greased whippet every time I heard an engine! Edited March 27, 2012 by rog8811 sp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pzkpfw-e Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 Yesterday afternoon, a pair of F15s flew low over me, heading towards Waddington. Very dark grey overall. Boeing Sentry out and about yesterday & today, too. Must be the sun bringing them all out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marvinthemartian Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 While at Withams this morning loading up, three of their Gazelle helicopters were being loaded onto trucks, someone must have deep pockets! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marmite!! Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 While at Withams this morning loading up, three of their Gazelle helicopters were being loaded onto trucks, someone must have deep pockets! It was 5 by the time you left, they were heading to an Airfield a few miles from me in Essex. The drivers said that the firm had bought 30 of them, they were making 17 good helicopters out of the lot & they have been sold to South Africa. Will post photos when I get them off my phone. This is the firm that bought them http://www.mwhelicopters.co.uk/ I spotted 2 on a lorry heading there about a month ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
