AW609 Arrival

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

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! :facepalm:

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!

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!

Blimy, it was HOT today, very much like yesterday actually! Got through nearly 4 litres of water and the same in factor 50. Incredibly I'm not burnt at all! Had a cracking couple of days, Air Day organisers did themselves proud today, personal highlights, Vulcan take-off howl and swordfish. Bought a...

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...
