Interesting aircraft - what have you seen on your computer today?
I'm surprised that an RAF base has such flimsy and insecure fencing. I appreciate that they have security, but all the same......No match for the 6 blowers on the AN225!
The Libyan Govt A340 is due to leave LHR today after 12 if any snappers want a photo ?

Just had a close up and personal visit from a Spit, I think a 2 seat IX out of Biggin. Did a pass pretty much over my house I think, though I'm three miles east! Not showing up on any of the radar sites.

Spitfires are being very coy today. Another one took off, no sign on radar. Miles Falcon and Dragonfly just got airborne, both easy to see visually and on the radar sites!

Is that really a Herman registered Goodyear airship I see wafting around Eastern Kent?

Very unusual, but I noted a German example a couple of weeks ago - this one, N466DC, seems to have been photo'd in various European locations in the last few years. Been nice to have seen it!

Yeah, it was certainly orbiting BH on Sat afternoon after I noticed it wandering along - think it made a pass at the Headcorn bash - went home later that day, probably Sunday's forecast was a bit dire!
