I saw a YouTube video of them arriving at Fairfield last week, together with a U2.

I drove through Fairford at about 4:00pm. today. I was watching the sky for any interesting planes.

Quite a collection of aircraft would love to have been there

I've posted this elsewhere on the forum but I thought I better post it here, where most viewers have an interest in aviation. I had this on audio cassette more than 30 years ago, someone borrowed it and I never got it back.
I'm delighted to have found it again. It is a bit dated but hilarious. Enjoy

I've seen a few of these before but they're no less shocking 2nd time around

Wow some video. Looks like a few of them took out loads of spectators. I've seen the 3rd one loads of times, it's so surreal seeing the plane act like that.

This is one of the best, if not the best WW2 documentary I've ever seen. The huge majority of the footage is new to me. It is all about London and the South East counties and how the war and Hitlers V weapons affected the area.
Well worth watching, believe me

Anyone watching Lakenheath 20 F-35a’s just taken off along with 8 F-15s a Skyhawks and an Alfa Jet. Very busy watching

A yank Embrear Phenom doing circuits at Swafham near Lakenheath, a Stratotanker on the ground at Mildenhall. Probably just using up tax payers money.

Phenom on it's way home now.

An absolute gem of a historical documentary. It should be required viewing in schools as a reminder of the sacrifice of so many outstanding young men.

I have just watched The Shepherd on Disney+. A ghostly tale, only 40 minutes long and written by Frederick Forsyt, featuring a lovely old De Havilland Vampire.

It stars the actor John Travolta who is actually type-rated for that aircraft but was piloting a Mosquito in the film.

John Travolta plays an important but minor role, perhaps only appearing for ten minutes in all. I enjoyed the film, the De Haviland Vampire night sky looked very realistic in this largely CGI movie.

Ben Radcliffe plays the main character, Travolta an important role but only seen for five minutes or so. A largely CGI film, I found the night sky and the Vampire aircraft both realistic and quite beautiful.

Sorrry, thought I had lost my previous post. Duh.

I think Manchester airport might be taking a battering with this wind.

I wonder where this flight will end up.

What was the METAR at time of diversion?

What was the METAR at time of diversion?

Didn’t see. There were quite a few aircraft flying a runway heading before diverting so I’m guessing the crosswinds were pretty severe.

Troubled young man steals an aircraft. ATC tries to safely talk him down.
"I wasn't really planning on landing it." my heart sank

That's sad.

A400M Atlas (Loin47) low overhead just here in Telford then loops back towards RAF Shawbury left BZZ at 9:50.

Appears to have landed at RAF Shawbury approx. 10:17, disappeared off Flight Radar at 10:23.

Unusual sight to see these down at Shawbury although they overfly very frequently.

 

[rod_vw]

Lion47 has been up and done a loop and back to RAF Shawbury, heard it go over our house, well within earshot anyway.

 

[TUCANO]

Great looking aircraft but about 30 years too late in my opinion.

 

[monzer]

Are there not a load of issues with the A400's? From what I've been reading the military would have been quite happy keeping the Hercules.

This is an amazing story of a cock-up which could quite easily have ended up so differently as it happened in a turbulent region at a very bad time but somehow got away with it

 

[KUSKUS]

A400 flew over us on the 12/12/23 at about 13.00 in the Mawddach estuary Barmouth , could it have been the one over Telford ?
Picture not good enough to see the numbers.

 

[poppycamper]

Canadian Air Force C130 Hercules just flew over our house..
