2. Administrators Jabo Posted July 16, 2009 Author 2. Administrators Report Share Posted July 16, 2009 You're not alone there mate, I've always been one for going to the window and looking when I hear engines. The best one was a couple of years ago when I was sat in the kitchen, and heard a Merlin in the distance and getting closer. I got outside and realised it was Merlins plural, and a few seconds later the Lanc came straight overhead about 1000ft up. Lovely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zooly Posted July 16, 2009 Report Share Posted July 16, 2009 Last friday about 9pm I heard a very familiar sound and rushed out to see a Griffon engined Spitfire flying above my house at about about 100m in alt heading due south, wonder where she was heading Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2. Administrators Jabo Posted July 17, 2009 Author 2. Administrators Report Share Posted July 17, 2009 Nice - I remember seeing that there when Knight and I paid them a visit last year. There are a couple of alternatives though... The BBMF have two - here's the other (no invasion stripes though) - [attachment=2] Taken at Waddington last year in the rain Rolls Royce also have one (stripes on underside only) - [attachment=3] Taken at Duxford Legends 2007 (note the 'artistic' composition Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
