You did see a vamp as it flew over my house as well, mkt Bosworth area

Ah cool. It was shifting!

According to their Facebook page, T.11 WZ507 has made two flights today.

It flew over us too, heard something interesting and just manage to catch it going out of view. It was motoring!

No jets over the plain today as far as I can tell. There have been what sounds like the typical growl of several USAF heavies going over (so possibly leaving Fairford, no idea what's there at the moment), the sound from those travels for miles.

There have been a few Lakenheath based F15s playing over Salisbury Plain this morning and afternoon and also yesterday. I live fairly close to the base so I can pick them up on the scanner stating their intentions. Alas, F15s rarely show on any of the tracking sites. Hope that helps.

Freedar.Uk on Twitter reported lots of F-15's throughout the day on SPTA too as Horsham558 says - interesting listening to the radio about them tracking a large van / truck

ETA - tracking not tacking

Was sunning myself on a beach on hayling island earlier when I hear a great noise....spitfire went straight over!

[Scabutz]

Saw this oddment fly over earlier.

So what was this A400 out of Brize doing yesterday in the North Sea, playing with the carriers?

Following on from the Bell 47G tracked recently, I have just spotted this Westland Scout near Colchester. Again, ignore the height.

Pretty sure we've just had a de Havilland vampire over the house...Leicestershire/Warwickshire border. Quick google suggests there is an airworthy plane at Coventry...can I go back in time on any of the radar sites (newbie :-))

You can on FlightRadar - on the right hand side, there's a clock with an anticlockwise arrow round the edge. Click that, then select date, time & speed that you want the recording to run at. Remember the times are in UTC, so you'll need to subtract an hour from the current time. The animation is pretty jumpy, but if something was recorded at the time then it should appear on the replay.

[Castrol for a knave]

Looks like a couple of Dutch F16's playing with some of our Eurofighters off the coast of Norfolk.



Unfortunately, the F16's had switched off just as i saved the image.
