No Wokkas over Sussex

[Gainesy]

Not a one.
Nada.
Nil.
Zilch.
:)

[olddog]

None over Fife either!

[Union Jack]

No Wokkas over Sussex

But lots of the "sukkas" over Wessex!

[PlasticCabDriver]

I haven't seen a pair of Pumas today either. Which is strange, as I also haven't seen any Typhoons, Tornados, Sea Kings, Tristars or Space Shuttles.

Is there some sort of of conspiracy?

AL1. Have just seen a Tutor. That's all OK then.

[Gainesy]

Did it Swoop?:uhoh: It must be traumatising for anyone to undergo such an event.:{

[green granite]

No mil stuff around North Beds either :(.............Mind you I did hear something fast and low a couple of months ago.

[johnfairr]

Gainesy, been no movements here at all today - they must have stacked early for happy hour . . . .

Normally see a few circuit-bashing on a Friday afternoon, just in time to hand it over to the lineys, debrief and be in the bar by 1700 sharpish, leaving the poor old groundcrew to sweat their nadgers off getting the thing ready for the next soup-stirrer. :(:(

Haven't seen any wokkas over my house in SE London for some days now.

A pity because when the cloud base is low they always fly underneath it so it can be quite spectacular.

Has the Prince given the one back he took to the Isle of Wight yet? :E

[exscribbler]

Nothing up here in the People's Republic, either. Again. I know it's Friday and I can't expect anything after 1430 :E but t'would be nice...

[The Helpful Stacker]

Nothing overflying Nottingham either.

Perhaps they are keeping clear of the gunfire...

[johnfairr]

Just heard the first Wokka of the day, heading back in to Odious

[jimgriff]

I think that any and everything that the RAF can muster is flying over my house.
It went on into the dark last night too

Brilliant!!:ok:

[Gainesy]

I tried to get one but forgot to remove the lens cap. Sorry.:(

[Bill16STN]

No wokkas, no 'phoons nuffink here in East Hert's.
- mind you there were a couple of movements this morning in the bathroom!

[Warmtoast]

If you've watched any of today's BBC TV weather forecasts the weather girls have all been commenting about a funny smell in the air over the UK which they didn't forecast.

In these circumstances those with any in-depth knowledge of RAF flying habits will know that it is a cardinal rule is that the RAF DO NOT fly in smelly weather.

Smelly weather doesn't happen often, but when it does the crews have to remain grounded - hence no Wokkas, or anything else for that matter.

So now you know.

[goudie]

Could swear I saw a Vulcan t'other day. Must've imagined it.

[ACW599]

One Griffin at Field 24. That's the famous one military aircraft can't find, at N52°43’42” W002°59’48” (52.72842N 2.99677W) or SJ 32790 14987 (OSGB36) or UTM30U 500225 5842050 or IO82MR.

TFI Friday

[Lurking123]

[Bill16STN]

Oooo look at that pylon!
- can't quite see its number though.

Anyone got any ideas? (so I can fill my little book in)

[manual cfar]

1.4G,
Of course you didn't see the ford focus, it was in Scotland

Good job I was quick with my camera!

Didn't manage the tail number though

[Airborne Aircrew]

No Phoons here in Michigan either... :eek:

But now it's weekend we'll have a bunch of Wokka's over my house... (Selfridge ANG) :ok:

[Gainesy]

Lurking, that pic is bloody well Photoshopped and you know it.:=

[goudie]

1.4G There appears to be a UFO in the middle of that pylon spotting pic. Either that or a nose landng light!

[exscribbler]

Or even Rotherham.

Airborne Aircrew - Just for you.

[Pilot Pacifier]

Sorry to disappoint you Gainesy, but I was over Sussex today, but it was 00:30 :}

[Cypherus]

Nice view of a lone helicopter navigating it's way across Sussex and Kent yeasterday morning, guess the M25 made a good guide to follow....:}

[Hangar_9]

:eek: Dunno what your all on about! Forget the Wokkas, rely on the BBMF :rolleyes:

smelly air didnt stop these ones flying :E

[Dysonsphere]

Dont forget Friday is POETS day

For thoses who dont know *Piss of early tommorrows Saturday*

[boguing]

Well there was one over Dorking on Thursday at about 11.30am.
Heading West.

To whom should I complain?

[Stitchbitch]

I just haven't seen one over Lincoln in formation with the also not seen Reds. I did see several a Ford Focui though... :ok:http://www.smartlease.co.uk/focus%20st%203%20door.jpg

[FlapJackMuncher]

RAFAT were flying on Friday. :E

[Gainesy]

KwikFit Fitters don't count.:p

[Vulcan 903]

Being just a few miles north of Odiham, one gets to see helicopters all day long. Great when they transit low over Hook or landing in the school field for the school fete.
Just need the Vulcan to use Odiham for Display Auth practise flights and I will be as happy as pig in .....

[FAStoat]

There was no driver of the German Focus;was it the ghost of that naughty Toom driver Mike Cairns,going back to his base after the night out?RIP Mike!!!!!!!!!

[Double Zero]

Gainesy,

Well unless something drastic has happened, we had the odd one over Lodsworth,West Sussex, often last week !

If it happens again ( & there's plenty of warning, hence the nick-name ) I'll try to get some photo's for you.

We also have regular Lynx & ( slightly fewer ) Gazelle & fast business jet - civil or not ? - flights overhead - at around 3,000' at a guess, of course Midhurst 4 miles away still has the TACAN beacon -and the other week we had a very well moving Hawk the Tuesday after Bank Holiday - repositioning & having fun ?

Certainly too quick once I'd recognised the all-too-familiar Adour to grab a camera, but there's always next time.

Not a Wokka here in the PDRoSY either. One or two B737s in and out of Funningley, though but.

[Beatriz Fontana]

Move to the Surrey Hants border. They've been flying evenings and Fridays over the past few weeks.

[Gainesy]

there's plenty of warning, hence the nick-name

Gosh, really?:ugh:

[aviate1138]

Monday 10:10 Wokkas are once again fluttering over Farnham, South of, in the so called Surrey Hills/Hampshire hillocks.

[exscribbler]

Beatriz; I can't afford to move to the deep South!

[devsan]

ive found the missing wokka
its flying over poole dorset now as we speak

[multivac]

I've have a few meetings this week so could we have a few Wokkas over Edmonton to wake me up?
Nice display at Duxford too.

[Double Zero]

Ok Gainesy,

If that's how you feel, get your own pictures then ! I doubt you've ever had the pleasure of seeing a rapidly expanding green blob, ( from a back seat with 2 T.P.'s up front ) just in time to tap one on the shoulder & point, yelling " Chinook" !!!

We took avoiding action, then the helo' formated on us with the side door open, the crew giving vigorous International Code hand signals... in fact our pilots were right, while this lot seemed to regard Wiltshire airspace as their own...

That was years ago, & no disrepect to the stirling work they are doing now - you can still hear them from way beyond Midhurst though ! :)

[The Helpful Stacker]

I used to go mountain biking in the Surrey Hills near Dorking when I was based at Headley Court (then later at Odiham) and I used to regularly see Chinooks landing in the area. Noisy buggers.
