      The markings and clarity of the shot had me thinking and strengthened the thought as I was typing your name Ron :tears-of-joy: I'm back to normal flesh color now.

      Cheers,

        Just looked up into the clear blue sky and saw two jet airliners on a collision course very high up...good thing they were at different altitudes and when crossing weren't exactly head on. Just goes to show there's a predetermined route or highway in the sky.

        Cheers,

              I Googled and I seems to fit as most naval choppers that fly over come from Yeovilton

                A jet Provost, Saturday afternoon. Such a grey dull day I really wasn’t expecting anything. Then you hear an unfamiliar engine coming your way.

                    No chin radar would defo be Yeovilton. They are the Junglie variant.
                    With a chin radar would signify an ASW Merlin so from Culdrose in Cornwall.
                    As an aside, did you know the EH101 thing is a Media faux Pax? It was initially called the EHI -01 for European Helicopter Industries - 01 signifying the first collaboration. However, at the press day, the media in their absolute best, misquoted - and it remained the EH101 thereafter!!
                    Useless fact of the day!!!

                      peterairfix Just noticed where you live. I would guess most of the Merlins would be from VL. You're probably close the the joining circuit. You also have a satellite airfield close to you at Merryfield where they practice engine off's and autorotations etc!!!! (Saves cluttering the runway at VL with Merlin bits when it goes wrong!!

                        Too late for pictures, but 6 Chinooks flew over here together (Nr. Chester) heading east about 4 hours ago.

                        Anyone else see them?

                              Not something that flew over but wish it did. The guys over at Langkawi island or even in Butterworth are getting quite an airshow pre flight work outs.
                              Basically the aerobatic teams from Korea, Indonesia and Russia have arrived. Black Eagles and Russian Knights...

                              Our Airforce will have their F-18 solo displays. I don't know if the Smokie Bandits team is still in operation since we have stood down our Mig 29s.
                              I have videos but don't know how to link them from whatsapp.

                              Cheers,
