Herk just seen heading easterly at low level over the city, across the Mersey over Wirral. More please but I thought the RAF shutdown on a Friday afternoon. :E

Glad he didn't stop, someone would have nicked the wheels.

Off an old Herk, you must be joking, we have standards to maintain.

It will be the same one I saw northbound a few minutes earlier. Some people work on saturdays and sundays at Liverpool now and again.
SAR Ops maybe??
Maybe not.

Possibly pulled off a low level through Wales and decided the bar had more attractions than the Lake District. Seriously, you've just reported more Alberts than I've seen in 3 weeks. I'm jealous.

Ah, Smudge,
Did you catch this pair on Thursday, I assume low level navex, came up from the Frome direction. The Westbury Smokey Joe (as was) at 400ft, can be seen to the right in a couple of the pics. Wish they had been a touch further south ...

Celebrating the start of Evertons title winning campaign, no doubt!

Cpt Pugwash,

Nice pictures, not a sign of an Albert for a few weeks now. I'm getting withdrawal symptoms, so may have to drive up to BZN for a bit of a spot:rolleyes:

Smudge :ok:

Believe it or not, in WWII there was a special 'scouse' unit set up to infiltrate enemy lines in Germany. What they retrieved was amazing according to MOD files.........

200 a/c engines, 300 a/c tyres, one battle ship and reportedly a pair of Hitler's shoes (the hush puppies type) from under his bed. Not one of these brave men ever received a medal.

You may jest but there really was exactly such a unit; read"T-Force the race for nazi war secrets" by Sean Longden.
