Nice flypast by a VC10 and 2 x F3s over BEagle Towers a few minutes ago - very pretty indeed!

Thanks, chaps/chapesses!



(Quite cheered me up after spending much of the afternoon swearing at the usless POS which Black and Decker think is a strimmer....)

And all I got for cutting the grass, was a few orbits by a Spitfire and a Hurricane.


Certainly sounded better than what Beags had to listen to!

Well - the F3s just went overhead on the way to the Covert Oxonian Aerodrome after a few minutes pootling about.

This time somewhat faster than with the '10 !!

But still quiet enough not to disturb any noise moaners, I hope!

Beags would that be the F3s piloted by "Fag Charioteers" that you mentioned with such virtiol on another thread recently?

I believe the Fag charioteers were from 25 sqn doing a tanking sortie to support the " Cherished memories" charity. Also believe some fag chariots from the north involved.

A very rare (for our neck of the woods) Mustang brightened up my Sunday, after shifting 5 ton of firewood

Thanks for making a hungover Sunday more bearable. The Spitfire and Hurricane over Cranwell were amazing. Standing on the North Airfield, as they flew directly overhead was great!

Also saw the VC10 and 2xF3 through the cloud heading North.

More please!

Easy. You strap between the shafts of a cart and it will do it in no time.

Held under the dorsal guiding feathers of course. And it would have to be an African Mustang, not a European one.
