Earlier on whilst fixing my car I heard the unmistakeable sound of a merlin engine,just it sounded thicker,ducked out of the shed to see mosquito fighter bomber flying around

....very cool indeed.....

Sorry had to share

ALAAAAAAAAARM!

Very cool man!

I've caught the CAF's planes flying in and out of the big airshow at Ellington a few times. Hear the noise and scan frantically for a bit, but you get rewarded with the sight of a B-17 flying over.

You didn't happen to scream "ALARM TAUCHEN!", did you?

Ancient Mariner · 01-05-13, 03:02 AM

@Cybermat,the words crossed my thoughts......

@ Singed: That'd be a buzz,would like to see some heavy bombers.

Ancient, you lucky bugger - that was the only airworthy one in the world and soon heading to the States.

Carefull you don't go running into the street (like we do) looking upwards, forgetting about groundlevel objects - fast cars.

Nice one, i live a short distance from RAF Cosford, ive seen the occasional spitfire flying over which is quite a thrill, and more than the occasional chinook helicopter, not so thrilling but damn loud!
