Not quite seen over your house, but on your local motorway

Just wonder if any of our esteemed brethren down that neck of the woods saw anything ?

I saw that news item too, but I'm in Northants this week. I know EXACTLY where it happened, that laybye they parked the Fournier in is well known for harbouring speed camera vans as the road is dead straight for maybe 2-3 miles!

What's really odd is from the point he landed he was maybe 400 yrds from the end of Staverton Airport's runway! See below of the actual site, pinched from a map website near me......

Perhaps they didn't expect to fly another 400 yards?

Apart from the usual Special Forces helicopter(s),  Defence Helicopter School machines from Shawbury,  and flock of sundry light aircraft from Shobdon airfield............all of which I no longer report here  as it would become boring and monotonous .....an RAF A400M  at about 1000 feet or less, heading West towards Wales.

Buzzing around Stirling yesterday afternoon was this machine



It was the camera ship for the UCI world cycling championships which were takeing place in Scotland. The Time trials were being held in Sterling and surround area with the finishing line just before the esplanade to the castle which meant that not only was the last section mostly a fairly steep uphill section but the last few hundred yards were over cobbles.

I've just watched some of that and the final uphill to Stirling Castle looks absolutely painful on those stiff bikes. It's a bumpy drive or a stiff walk up there anyway.

They're one short....................

Unless he's already at Eastbourne, with the narrator.

[PR19_Kit]

Usually that's Red 10, with nine of them doing the display.

Apparently they are only flying 8 for displays & 9 for fly-past's (ie His Majesty  )?

[kerick]

Must be a cost cutting measure.
