Pale blue Tuscan on the A1 near stevenage this morning - Reg T50 CR I think?. I was the guy in the silver mr2 lol.

[Mezzanine]

Bright white BMW i8 pulsing Leighton Buzzard yesterday morning.

It looked amazing and alien against the 'normal' traffic.

Silver Dodge Challenger hoofing it off a roundabout in Milton Keynes on Friday.
Can't be many of them around.

[DazBock]

Tastefully modified mk1 MX5 sitting at the traffic lights on J12. Flashed pop ups at me as I went the other way in the Eunos.

Great looking car mate.

Blue Porsche 944 with a huge PH sticker on the bonnet.
Near Caldecotte Lake yesterday.

Red Ferrari 458 around MK at the weekend. Can't recall exact registration - think it was TYC3R or something.

Red/Orange F Type R coming through Bluntisham at about 3 this afternoon. Sounded amazing.

My first ever spot! I did respond to the thumbs up but don't know whether you saw.

Seen a TVR Chim on Gypsy Lane towards Broom at Biggleswade a couple of times in the past week. Looks good!

Something very large at high altitude coming across the skies of Bedford early this morning, not sure if it was a B52 or Antonov but the wingspan was large and the trails it left were expansive!

I live near Huntingdon and have often seen something massive with a very distinctive contrail around 13:30 going roughly south-north. Binos just show a great lump of an aircraft with a high tail so I think it must be a big transport on a regular run - C5 or smaller C17. I keep meaning to try the Flightradar site to see if it pops up but am usually out with the dog at the time! There are some A380s that cross our region and they leave a big trail but have a low, normal tail section.

Speaking of large/interesting aircraft...

Pair of Chinooks and a Herc low over Eaton Socon this afternoon -









Always impressive to see

[v15ben]

Saw a pair of Chinooks over Buckingham Palace last week, very cool.
Back locally, saw a Capri Brooklands in North Crawley yesterday!

It was patchy cloud and I didn't have much chance to see it properly but the contrails were definitely wide and it 'looked' bigger than a 747 even though it was at high altitude. From the contrails I immediately thought it had more than four engines.

Without binoculars or flightrader I was left to my own fevered imagination, will be watching the skies closely from now on!

[Gretchen]

Another Chinook just now low over mine I think. At least I heard rather than saw this one. And lots of talk of C130s out and about. Beautiful. But omninous.

Think I saw this too in Cambridge. Looked like it was heading to Barr-Tech on Cowley Road.

Have also this week seen two Ferrari FFs, one black/one red on Milton Road, Cambridge and a F-type R heading into Milton, Cambs today.

Last week I saw a black McLaren (either 12c or 650s) in Cambourne. Looked immense.

[v15ben]

Just followed a stunning black Aventador on the M1 past Milton Keynes.
Reg plate BLA3K.
