Following the Armed forces parade and fly past in Windsor we had a load of RAF Hawks fly over the house (in Witney, Oxfordshire), they were pretty low and in transit formation, it was a cool sight to see from the garden, but confused the dog! 🙂

2 x C130 in formation holding pattern over the Solent for about 30 mins this morning .
Nice little display as they were rather low due to air traffic restriction from Eastleigh , maybe 1000ft most of the time .

Saw the two C130s over Oakley, near Basingstoke. Then 12-13 helicopters about an hour later over Basingstoke itself.

I was on the long walk in windsor great park, so saw the whole lot of em. Was very cool. The formations were amazing, e.g. the characters"EiiR" formed by planes.

Quite surprising considering the RAF are uncontactable after 4pm and get confused by Wednesday, if it being the end or start of the weekend 😉

3 flights of 3 typhoons straight over the top of Oxford town centre this morning. Dog was confused by the racket. Wish it had been the Lanc and the Spits. That noise gets me every time!

Just be grateful it was just a pale shadow of 60 years ago

Weird sounding thing flew over N1 last night. Sounded like a helicopter, but more high tech and sinister...

?

Followed by smaller things. Drones for the Olympics?

Loved the beebs commentator yesterday about the Lancaster dropping thousands of tons of bombs on Germany. He might as well said women and children in there as well....

Had many friends in that formation; well done, it looked tight!

I thought the BBC commentary was awful and the Sqn Ldr chosen to talk about the types really didnt do a good job.

Otherwise it was brill. Good to see the Reds after such a bad season last year.

I'd prefer more of a Republic here thanks. Royalists, the Aristocrats and their staff can leave.
