If your location was a bit more specific, we would know where to set up the SAMs.

Know what you mean , I get them all the time but then I'm only a couple of miles from the Imperial War Museum Duxford . We even had a Merlin
engine on a trailer in the garage I work at a few weeks ago albeit an eleven cylinder version.

I can confirm the following:
1 Spitfire (think Mk IX)
1 P51D
both having a leisurely fly around and practise for the Revival. 18.00 hrs Northeast of Tangmere (just beyond the A27 at Halnaker (pronounced
"Hannaker". Took me ages to clean the car!

Your all just jealous you weren't born in the 1920's, you would have given your eye teeth to sit behind one of those engines. My father
did, in England, Malta, and North Africa, finally got shot down the last ime in 1945 after blowing up a German Troop train in northern Germany.

Yup that sounds ^^^ right! (gttztt)
DLT gets invited to the celebrity (drivers) cricket match at 'the house' which kicks off the revival every year.... to watch of course...
and partake in a Pimms and a cucumber sarnie or 3.... The Spitfire and P51 usually dive bomb the match......scares 'em all!
I am waiting for todays match report...
I am sitting here as jealous as hell...because I have to....
Look after our business
Have arguments with Insurers/Loss Adjustors
Look for new business premises
Look after you lot!
Hmmmppffffffff

aha Goodwood,they were based here for bigging hill till a few years ago and would go swooping through the clouds,such a magnificent sight and the
sounds
this one had D day stripes and sounded like a griffon
should have said RAF Northolt,just across the road from me.

Yo yo, we is gonna put some 22" spinners on, replace the prop with a super-turbo chrome vortex generator for an extra 20hp, tint those windows,
and change that dull camo paintjob for a banging purple flip with airbrushed dragons down the sides. Pimp my fighter

A year or three back I was in the kitchen doing myself some lunch when I heard the sound of a plane engine approaching - not unusual where I live.
After a few seconds I thought "that sounds meaty" and looked out of the window, just in time to see the back of a Spitfire as he went into
a victory roll over my village - which was nice.
Once a year we also get 2 or 3 Mustangs going over in close formation, heading for a private airshow at Raydon (it was a WW2 airfield). That's
an impressive sight and sound too.
As for the Chinooks - we get Apache copters from Wattisham pootling over my house every few days. Bleedin' annoying, as they go over at around
20 mph, waiting to be called into action. This means that a line of 10 can take 5 minutes to go over, and they are VERY noisy at that speed!

2 Apaches went over here last week, aren't they weird looking things. I was mowing the lawn today and one of those new fangled jet things went
over at about 500 feet and 600mph. I thought the mower was blowing up.
yours, Pete
I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

To me, most military flying things are at least 'handsome' and a lot are downright impressive, but those Apaches are simply sinister and
mean looking - which I guess is unsurprising, considering their purpose...

Warplanes
I get them over here all the time as there is the old aeroplane museum on the same old airfield as our factory(Breighton near Selby).
Mustangs, Huricanes ,Fockers etc.
Friday afternoons are quite entertaining
We also get millitery choppers coming in to refuel.
