B-52 over Essex 31/3/2022

Post by FGR2 »

Out for a walk the other evening when I noticed a B-52 off the coast of Essex heading my way. Made a quick half a mile rush for home to grab the camera and just managed to catch it in time (between a lot of puffing and panting). Unfortunately I didn’t get the settings quite right in the mad rush, but it was good to see something different overhead.

The other time

Great catch. I love the overhead shots we get from time to time on here.

Excellent catch!

That same B-52 came (unusually) straight in across North London - I watched it all the way from the continent on ADSB Exchange - and as it passed Farnborough (about over Bracknell) a bank of cloud blocked my view to the North. Grrr!

Was just a bit of luck really as about 30 mins later it had clouded over.
