    A chinook flew over my house yesterday and a single engine aircraft that I didn't see as it was flying above the clouds but if I had to guess it could have been a spitfire a nice distraction from painting the fence

        Seen the Chinook coming over Birmingham from the direction of West Bromwich so presume the same one John seen.

          A Hercules flew over mine yesterday twice, or it could have been two of them flying out of Tees-valley airport. Either way made a nice change from the usual civil stuff.

                The two Lancasters flew over my house on their way into Southend Airport this afternoon.Luckily I was in the garden so didn't miss them.

                  I saw "V-RA" the Canadian Lanc fly into Coningsby. Seen both Lancs flying round about half a dozen times since, once being flanked by the Spitfire & Hurricane.

                      Don't want to rub it in Alan but in the summer we regularly have the BBMF fly over my flat. They inspired me to start making again.

                          Saw this on the BBMF Facebook page:

                          RAF Waddington - Lancasters arrival - 9am

                          (Please note: this location might not see the formation fly-by)

                          - Overhead the eastern edge of Lincoln at approx. 13:30

                          - Overhead RAF Coningsby at 13:45

                          - Overhead RAF Marham at 14:00

                          After breaking formation, XH558 will continue to Clacton, while the Lancaster pair will depart to another location.

                            So what may fly over your house tomorrow is a formation you may never see again. Cameras out please for those of us on the other side of the planet.

                                Well today the two Lancasters have joined forces with the Vulcan to do a few more local fly-bys. My wife was a bit slower with the camera and they were a bit higher than they have been so the shots are not as good as they have been. They were definitely flying over our house today though!!
