        Well, not yesterday, but right now I've got a rare moment of bench time, sat here with the Window open. I can hear this sound growing very slowly. It was a Swordfish, complete with torpedo.

              Must admit I did think it may carry on into the Portland Exercise areas as there was a whoppin’ great big flat top sitting out there then!!

                    The F-35 is so thirsty that they need to refuel it during the parade?

                      Not even ours, one of yours I believe. Ours are still on order.

                        Oh, yeah, you’re right:

                        (For those lacking in Dutch skills: “This year, ten F-16 fighter aircraft will fly past in formation. This number naturally refers to the ten years’ on the throne [of King Philippe]. Noteworthy is that a Dutch F-35 will also fly past. This is the successor of the F-16 that our country has ordered as well.”)

                          Got cruised by a local eagle from the nearby river yesterday morning, hustled our little Yorkie into the house as the adults are quite large.
                          Wright-Pat Air Show this weekend, so F-16s & C-17s will be around, but low enough so they go past quickly. I'll try to get shots, but usually can't.

                            Best pic I could get by the time I managed to get the phone out :rolling:

                            It’s a Gazelle, once very common around here (near RAF Shawbury) but I’ve not seen one for years.

                              Cleaned the BBQ, picked up all the old Maple tree seeds that had accumulated under the bbq cover. Took out the old fridge and freezer and the rain held off untill the very second I started to do this - better timing could not have happened....

                                Almost got a shot of a trio of choppers, Blackhawk, Huey & Cobra, but were too low and disappeared behind houses by the time I got the phone out.
