What flew over your house (yesterday)

[Guest]

No problem Ron. I think hey call it sods law when stuff like that happens

Well I really doubt there was two in the air today. It flew over Weston near Stafford at about 1630 ish. It was the noise that caught my attention.

Thanks Colin, that's about right, it flew over ours about an hour later and yes, the noise attracted me too.

Spent the day in the garden and got to see two today

Late morning and a Harvard heading south, nice bright yellow. Then this afternoon, as witnessed by Ron, a PBY 5. What a day!

In the last two weeks I've had two Westland apaches , two Westland linx hma 8 , one merlin and this wired looking thing with almost no sound it a helicopter but it has angles on it , I've seen it twice in the last twelve months

Yes that is the one that came to the Jersey B of Britain show a few years ago.

A lovely looking aircraft. They were taking passengers up for a spin around the island.

Built the Revell type in 1/48 and it is a nice aircraft to build.

Matter of interest it seems a large aircraft and it is. But the Merlin Helicopter I am building is fractionally longer than the Catalina.

A PBY was the first to spot the Japanese carriers and fleet approaching Midway which enabled the USA flat top aircraft to destroy all the Japanese aircraft carriers.

At cruise speed the PBY could stay in the air for about 20 hours.

In the time it takes a PBY to fly over you can have a picnic and a shave.
