Could be a bit of both - the move out over water may suggest dumping - level wise, is it winter or summer ?

Haha thanks for the reminder, the clocks go forward this weekend don’t they!

I was on a zoom call with a colleague earlier this week and heard in the background an A400M, so distinctive that I did say to him that I think an A400M has just flown over your house so go and look - and there it was.

Had one fly over mine the other night, the sound is very distinctive compared to the jet engines I'm used to by LGW;

Last March, when the lockdown started, my wife and I started going for two hour walks every day in the nearby nature reserve in Kent. The weather was great, hardly anyone around. Anyway, nearly every day we were treated to low level flights of a Spitfire from Biggin Hill. Around June, I started to get interested in the plane tracking sites, so could see the Spitfires and predict the route they were taking. They are mainly the two seat aircraft, but they are still amazing to hear and then see. I am hoping that it will not be long before they start flying again this year.

Spotted one from Canada to Brize Norton (?) recently.

Two Royal Navy Hawker Beechcraft Corp B300 Avenger T.1s, ZZ500 and ZZ501 (750 Naval Air Squadron - FAA Observer School) up in that area too...




...along with Amber1 and Amber2, FRA/Cobham jets out of Bournemouth playing over the Bristol Channel just ENE of Lundy.

We’re doing some work with the Calspan Learjet this week, appears to be doing circles over the south west 🤣

Polish C130 into LGW

[Supernova190188]

Went for a day out at a local lake and happened to be a fair bit of activity directly overhead!
Also a fair few hawk t2’s which didn’t get any shots of!

Love the BU/CASA 131, interesting to see something in German military markings. There used to be one with a big swastika on the tail which seems a no no these days.

[Boatbuoy]

I thought I heard something. Did anyone else hear the boom over the south east this morning?

[LotusOmega375D]

That’s very good.

Did a bit of a double take when I saw this at RIAT a couple of years back.
