yep i saw them too, fly over Botley, they are top draw arent they. No idea where they were going. I did see them recently at swanage carnival, 20 minute display, loved every minute of it

The display was over the Ark Royal in P*mpey at luchtime today...the missus watched them from Gosport.

 

I saw them at the airshow in Bournemouth a few weekends back...they were immence - fantastic spectacle whilst sat on the beach :p

They're at Duxford on Saturday, closing the afternoon. One was marking the flight out at about 3pm.

Wondered why there was only one , there's usually more do the practice run.

If you're interested in WW2 aircraft, Duxford is a must.

I enjoy walking the dog listening to and watching the Spits and other aircraft doing their test flights.

i videoed the entire display at swanage and was going to upload it to facebook but

1) it takes too long

 

and

 

2) all you can hear is me saying "wooow look at that" and "ooooo awesome" :-)

Saw two apache longbows flying over romsey thursday, anything to do with this ??

 

Maybe, but there is at least one squadron of them based at Middle Wallop near Salisbury so it's possible they were just on exercise.

I saw Red Arrow crash at Sidmouth many years ago. Fortunately, as my ex girlfriend's sister excitedly told her friend on the 'phone "The pilot managed to ejaculate safely...."

 

 

This was (obviously) more exciting than the display but all credit to the pilot. He knew something was wrong (as did we on the ground) 'cos of a huge plume of flame gushing out of the jet exhaust. He turned the plane around, pointed it out to sea and bailed out. We watched him float down and then watched as the plane hit the water a few miles out.
