I ve never seen a P47 thunderbolt until perhaps today and wonder if someone can confirm.
Living near Camberley I am used to and enjoy the constant stream of GA traffic skirting the western edge of the LHR TMA.
Today around 9 am I saw a fast moving chunky radial engine type heading north to south south west over the Blackwater area just east of Blackbushe
It wasnt a Yak- distictive Russian radial noise gives them away and sounded like engine was at fairly low power-extremely smooth purring radial. Appeared to be dark blue or green with a white triangle on fin
It was a bit too far awy to be sure so I wondered if some eagle eyed expert here can confirm what type it might be.
On similar subject I see a Dove almost daily scooting around this sort of routing,lovely to see and hear a sixties relic, but it seems to get a lot of hours in-is it used for some regular purpose. Many thanks PB
