What flew over your house (yesterday)

At least one person in that article enjoyed the impromptu display Gregg. Who wouldn't? And I doubt very much it would be the same Typhoons that intercepted the Russian patrol aircraft.
 
Very entertaining, just a shame so many seemed so scared over it.


Seeing as the interception took place this morning, hardly likely!


One comment on the 'Mail' site was from the mother of a child who ran and got under the bed, as she thought aliens were coming.


The press hardly help with sensational headlines!


I must buy the daily rag tomorrow to see what else they have fabricated!

Two Chinook Helicopters ......... Very low and very noisy. Probably on their way to Aldershot Garrison judging by the direction.

They follow the M3 motorway, they fly past my house in Cove sometimes in pairs but usually as singles.


It's a poor photo but a four ship of Chinooks flew back to Odiham over my house, I think they were doing the fly past for the ANZAC day commemoration.

While waiting for my flight home from Zagreb airport a two ship of Croatian Air Force Mig-21's taxied past and took off, sadly too quite for a photo but they were wearing a very smart low-vis paint scheme with checkerboard tailfins.

Yesterday, I was gardening, and heard a slow but loud noise building from the west, and then right overhead, an Avro Anson. Never seen one before. Some hours later from a south east direction a Mustang. It made a nice whine / whistle as it went over.
 
A bee, on a mission buzzed in and made a perfect landing on a leaf looked around and decided to leave via the leaf. Took off in true VSTOL Harrier style and buzzed off and made its way to its next mission.


Found out later it was named Honey with the distinguishing markings BEE.

The Avro Anson is due to display at Cosford along with a Mustang, did you happen to catch if the Mustang had Sharkmouth markings?

Unusual make of aircraft, British Entomology Engineering, but a bit more popular in the summer months.
