Spotted 2012

[Wbeest]

Bug souped up Silver Mustang in Roade yesterday afternoon

[djdestiny]

Saw a grey 12 plate Ferrari this morning with the roof down near Thrapston being followed by a yellow Caterham, then a Morgan coming the other way a few mins later. Then the grey R34 Skyline tht lives in Thrapston

[Jag-D]

What looked to be a pro-street prepared Yamaha Vmax in Northampton

[Hoofty]

C47 Dakota over Hunsbury this evening!

[djdestiny]

I assume that is also what flew over Thrapston too, it sounded gorgeous!
I could'nt of named it though, just saw a plane with 2 props

so that's what it was, if I'd have been quicker I could have asked the pilot as it was seriously low over us, I mean seriously low

climbed and circled over Eastfields way

I assume it took off from Sywell as it was so low by us




did I mention how low it was

ETA: but over 500ft - and clown face

not much above the roof tops and we're bungalows around here

and I'm not so you're safe but Sheila has just left for another full day on the cider bar, she'll be back home about midnight

I very much doubt it was below 500ft and certainly not "just above the rooftops". That is illegal (Air Law, rule 5) and results in a meeting without tea and biscuits.

It would only be below 500ft if it was on the climb out after take off or coming in to land, or you're at an air show and the pilot has a Display Authority and is executing a flying display.

You'd be surprised how high aircraft are even when they look low.

not much above the roof tops

(short pause)

and we're bungalows around here

it was very low but obviously above 500ft

you'll have to work the earlier lines out for yourself

Pretty sure the Dak was over 500ft when it flew over the beer festival at Delapre yesterday. BUT it was definitely under 1500ft.............

Oh and Mr& Mrs Blue Cerbera spotted at the beer festival
