A lovely low snoring noise just dragged from my post-breakfast slumbers (coffee going cold), was it me? No, a Polish AF C-130E skirting the southern borders of London and heading into Brize. Showed up beautifully against the cirrus.
Heard a vague grumble while inside yesterday, it was one of the Biggin Spitfires heading down to Goodwood, following the M25 and passing over the M23 junction - good 10 miles south, amazing how far the Merlin's sound can travel considering all the competing noise hereabouts. Saw another of their residents was airborne yesterday, single seater MkIX LZ842/G-CGZU which has been flying for about a year - one of the hulks recovered from the Salt River scrap yard in Cape Town 50 odd years ago... Yet to see it in the flesh.
