2 x Apache AH-1's Over North Birmingham

Post by AlphaVictor »

Nice too have 2 Apache's fly through the Birmingham 15 approach this afternoon. Not a sight we see everyday for sure. Turned on the pc to see that it was Viper flight, originated near to Mildenhall (that's where the trace started) and heading towards the Black Country.

There were over Redditch at about 3pm - very low travelling in a ESE direction so towards Warwick area, presumably swung round by the Honiley beacon and headed NW.
