    A bi-plane flying being followed by 5 Apache's, came over my house twice.

    Just a bit strange, any explanation?
  • Biplane is a swordfish, anti sub plane.
  • It's the 70th Anniversary of The battle of the Atlantic ...the One Show team are on board HMS Illustrious watching the flypast with some veterans of the campaign. Golden Oldies, bless 'em.
  • Were being invaded, run for the hills
  • Cheers Fanny, my wife was convinced something was about to crash !

    Tavern ?
  • there is another due at 7 Saturday night I think from what I just read.
  • Saw it from Woolwich.
    Thought it looked as if they choppers were escorting a small plane over London airspace at one point... makes sense now

    Anyone confirm this. I told someone last night who then told about four people. And them four people told about twenty people, and before I know it I've turned into Flypast Expert - Sidcup Branch

  • If you like this sort of thing - there was a good programme on bbc2 on Thursday to mark the 70th anniversary of the dam busting raids from RAF Scampton.

    As delboy would say - après moi le deluge!

    Love the Lancasters.

    Went over Dartford yesterday afternoon. It seem so slow, you think that it would drop out of the sky.

    Worked with an old boy when I first started work, who was s crew member on a Wellington, he had some great photos they had taken on bombing raids.
  • It's the noise it makes - sends a shiver down me spine!
  • Just wait 'til there's two of them flying next year.
