Seen Over Your House Today

Rick Lowe · February 02, 2025, 08:12:27 PM

A bunch of us shot outside work today, as the old Herks were doing a run down the coast as a goodbye.
We caught a brief sight of them between the hills, as they banked right, to head on out to sea...

A short while later (when we were back inside...) there was the sound of them passing over nearby. Of course we didn't make it out in time...

A Red Arrows Hawk on approach to Humberside.

Chinook flying over Odiham with a slung load. A fairly regular occurrence as my job often takes me up that way

However, saw something a little more unusual in the form of a Wildcat being road transported somewhere on the M3....

Not over my house, but while at airports:

Play Airlines A320Neo. Fairly new Icelandic low cost operator, thought it was a funky colour.

One got stuck in the mud at Shuttleworth last week. It has been chocked to stop it rolling away

I can't imagine why one comment said it wouldn't be able to lift itself out of the mud. The mud can't have glued it in place!

Strangely, the sound caught me out. I thought it was the regular HMCG S-92 on the first pass but it got louder, then I knew what it was. Tried to snap it in the back garden but I missed it, it disappeared behind trees when I got to the front. I was wasn't caught out the second time.

Last week on my way home from work i was almost blown off the road by a very low flying NH90-MTH (Belgian AF TTH-variant).
today, i was just home having dinner when my son spotted a hot air balloon flying low over the back yard
