Vintage aircraft over Sussex
I was walking the dog today and heard the sound of an old aircraft. I managed to get a look but couldn’t make out what type. It was quite large and seemed to be followed by a ‘chase plane’ they were heading west. This was 10.40 along the coast between Newhaven and Brighton. Anyone any ideas? |
Waco YMF-5 HB-DMO and the Junkers F.13 replica/reproduction HB-RIM were heading along the coast there at that time! Good spot!

Dunsfold final 'Wings and Wheels' this weekend 15/16 before they start building 'little boxes' nobody wants, so maybe they were making their way there.

Ah, thought it might be. Like to see both of them.
Often think we should have an interesting sightings thread, either on here or on spectator's balcony. |
Apparently they were on their way to Aero Expo at Booker where they can be seen today/tomorrow..

I was born in Meopham, Kent, but moved when four. On a visit to view old haunts, we bumped into a preservation guy in the old windmill and he told us of the accident over the village when a Ju F-13 crashed with some dignitories aboard. Not having heard about it before, I looked it up and apparently it suffered structural failure and broke up in the air.
Edit: Wiki has it https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meopham_air_disaster |
