Another 4-ship
 
A very tidy Finger-four (Stbd) went over my pad on a heading of around 160 today at 1605Z. Mid/low wing monoplanes and I THOUGHT I saw Luftwaffe crosses on the wings? Where were the Spitfires?:eek: :eek: Ah! Then I saw what looked like a Swordfish in hot pursuit...well in pursuit....well behind:)

Lovely noise - anyone know what they were? I dont think they were the Yaks.

Are you down south? Both the Yakovlevs and the 2Excel Blades are at Shoreham this weekend. Blades fly 4 extra 300s with union flags on the underside of the right wing.

Might have been something like we saw over our pad (Finchampstead, Berks) a few weeks back. Only saw one.... found out the type through Air Britain. What we saw was a Bowers Flybaby painted up to look like a Junkers J10 and I understand that there are several lurking about. They sure have a throaty roar for such a small, flimsy aeroplane. Check out this snap:
