You mean someone actually lives in Llandildo? I thought it was just a name on a map put there by the Viet Taff to annoy the English....
There's lovely!

Red Arrows at Filton today
Got dragged to Cribbs Causeway Mall today by Mrs D and was pleasantly suprised by the sight of the Red Arrows in formation with a Typhoon very low over Filton, then they proceeded to do a few dispay formations...
Any idea what the occasion was ?? Heck of a view from the Mall as it is on high ground adjecent to Filtons runway and approach.

Any idea if some of the Sparrows flew a low level 4 ship past the west side of Leicester around 1315 hours today?
I was working and heard fast jets but was not in a position to see what the noise was.
The wife said 4 jets in a V formation heading NE-SW, one had some red on it
Sorry if it is a bit spotterish but I don't get to hear the Sound of Freedom so much in these cash strapped days for the RAF.
TIA

Part exchange them for some Warthogs and I might agree with you
According to tonights Leicester Mercury newspaper it was the Sparrows who flew past Leicester on Wednesday.
A couple of the team are former pupils at Groby Community College and they re-payed the college for their education with a fly-past.

I missed the Sparrows on Wednesday but not just now
9 ship in V formation passed west of Leicester at 0858 on their way to RNAS Yeovilton.
They would have passed over the same college as the other day but I expect the students are still in the snorer.

I had an even better treat today
Whilst rolling the cricket wicket at Newtown Linford I heard a strange noise, surely the roller wasn't about to blow up?
I looked up in my 10 o'clock and saw the sparrows heading north in a beautiful V formation.
They must have been using the 'Old John' folly in Bradgate Park as a turning point as they banked beautifully to starboard to stay clear of EMA zone.
It doesn't take much to make my day does it?

Ah, cop, funny you should mention that but I was at Silverstone on Sunday, and the Sparrows did the whole display as an eight-ship. What's up?
Out of interest, that was only the second F1 GP I have been to, the first one being in 1974 when the engines revved more slowly, and the noise of the cars from about 20 yards was absolutely shattering. Made the good old Spey sound positively muted by comparison.
