AW609 Has just arrived at Westlands if anyone is interested,
did about 4 circuits and two touchdowns.
Looks very smart and is suprisingly quiet!

I saw it had two blobs under the wings from about 2 miles away.
I saw it for less than 15 seconds in 3 snippets between houses. I had no camera or binos.
I did the best I could!

Re: F/A-18 Yeovil
I've seen the pics of it having now landed and those missiles are rather large so at that distance they probably looked like tanks to me.

F/A-18 Yeovil
An F/A-18 of some kind was just (in last 10 mins) flying just north west (1-2 miles circling) of Yeovil,
2 drop tanks, too far away for me too see any markings
Anyone got anymore info? Swiss or Boeing Demonstrator?

Re: A Genuine Question
As someone who would always want to come to the show for 1 day but has neither the time nor the money to spend the whole week there. The removal of the option for an 'either day' advance ticket is a very bad change . I only ever decide to go to an airshow in the week before...based on the final line...

Re: Warships in Naples
Was there myself on business last week, did a big double take when emerging from my hotel and that was in front of me!
I had seen a US carrier in port, Norfolk Yard I think...but never one with aircraft on before.
Was most interesting sight! Thanks for the record!

Brilliant shots,
However I would expect nothing less.
As others have said, the flare Mk.4 is wonderful.

Re: Blistering Somerset Barnacles - krusty VL 2013
We did speak briefly several times today Rich lol,
mainly about parking issues though!
I was in the White and Green Hawaiian shirt,
I also didn't want to act like an unwelcome hanger on amongst the
VL photography royalty present today!

I' still very rusty after winter..I'm still getting back into the swing of things...especially slow shutter speed work at which I suck! Good to see all the usual ...

Re: Video - Kazakhstan Rocket crash
But like I said they may not have known it was unmanned and being nearly 3kms away they don't know it didn't hit anyone on the ground either. I think it's a perfectly normal reaction when someone witnesses a shocking event. Crikey I remember the video of the 747 at Bagram coming down and the guy wh...
