Being just a few miles north of Odiham, one gets to see helicopters all day long. Great when they transit low over Hook or landing in the school field for the school fete.
Just need the Vulcan to use Odiham for Display Auth practise flights and I will be as happy as pig in .....

Wokkas

Gainesy,

Well unless something drastic has happened, we had the odd one over Lodsworth,West Sussex, often last week !

If it happens again ( & there's plenty of warning, hence the nick-name ) I'll try to get some photo's for you.

We also have regular Lynx & ( slightly fewer ) Gazelle & fast business jet - civil or not ? - flights overhead - at around 3,000' at a guess, of course Midhurst 4 miles away still has the TACAN beacon -and the other week we had a very well moving Hawk the Tuesday after Bank Holiday - repositioning & having fun ?

Certainly too quick once I'd recognised the all-too-familiar Adour to grab a camera, but there's always next time.

Andy

Not a Wokka here in the PDRoSY either. One or two B737s in and out of Funningley, though but.

Move to the Surrey Hants border. They've been flying evenings and Fridays over the past few weeks.
