Jeez where you live, Libya?

Is there much point to signing images in an area that can be cropped off without even trying?

Good pics, mind, I’m impressed.

what is the first helicopter? there was one flying about my way recently, not seen it before.

Merlin

Looks like a Merlin to me….

😀 flip you made my day

Is this north of Bristol? Was it for a show? I want to see!

thats the airbus A400M in those photos, one of my mates works for GKN (was airbus) at filton, the 400M was there yesterday for all the employees to drool over,

@flip

May as well be 😉

Yep North Bristol.

Two of these just flew over… naff pic but they flying quite high.

yikes, an Osprey. Keep away from it. So many deaths from the development of that thing!

What are they all doing up your way? I wanna see.

I lost a good mate to an Osprey 😥

The development and problems really do make you wonder what the **** was going on behind closed doors – contracts and money before lives of servicemen 🙁

I saw more ‘incidents’ in 14 months in the USA than I have working in the same industry in the UK for the last ten years. Although the only death I’ve seen was 5 weeks ago.

and another..

Still amazed how they stay in the sky 🙂

I think it’s got something to do with those spinny bits on the top.

(srsly though, very cool photos)

@cougare

Ta.

as for staying up there…. defo “sky hooks”

nice pics.

I get loads of Apaches flying formation over my place (i live near Catterick Garrison)…nothing makes me more jealous, not even Kelly Brooks latest boyfriend. Id give my right arm to be flying on of them…ironic really cos id imagine it would rule me out anyway…….

I just saw a Chinook over Cannock Staffs ❗ first time ever.

Is there stuff going on we don’t know about?

That’ll be one of the four USAF CV-22 Ospreys operating out of Mildenhall for evaluation flights at the moment. Might be a chance they’ll be based there permanently if it all works out.
Lots of pictures over on Fighter Control
