FAO Farnborough Spotters
Discussion
I know it's not about Farnborough Airport, but two Spitfires overflew Farnborough yesterday afternoon.
Close formation, low (ish) and looked to be heading roughly southwest, passing somewhere between Blackbushe and Farnborough itself.
I was talking to a neighbour out in the street, so lucky to see them, as they'd have been gone by the time I got out of the house if I'd been indoors.
Presumably heading for Goodwood for Revival weekend and the flypasts next week.

Quite possibly. Limited view from where i was stood, due to houses and large trees, and it'd have been rude to speed away from a conversation with my neighbour in order to get a better view. All I managed to see was the two.Four more spotted today, about 2-ish in the afternoon. The wife excitedly called into the house for me to get outside. They were on roughly the same course/height as the two I saw t'other day.
I can't wait for Tuesday!
Kinky Junior was playing footy yesterday morning (away in Frimley), and we had the Red Arrows fly over in formation, then gave us a 2-3 minute individual display (each flying around in varying sized circles), then eventually all flew off again towards Goodwood. But that's only my assumption.
But still great to see
Was around 11am
