Seen Over Your House Today

OK, no problem. I like to give credit where it's due.

Right.....this may be a bit of a cheat.......while on a train from Crawley to Pompey we were going through Ford train station...just prior to entering Ford I saw at the Edgar of a field,a good few hundred metres away a jet on a pole.....pretty sure it was a single seat hunter.....been trying to look up on google but no luck.....anyone any ideas please.......curiosity more than anything.....H

[PR19_Kit]

Might it have been at Tangmere?

[Army of One]

Kit....not to sure.....it was way over the otherside of a field......definately appeared to be a gate guardian of some sort......

Yep, a single seat Hunter. Just found it on Google Earth, on the edge of the old Ford airfield
Find the old Ford airfield, then follow the line of the runway that runs NE, that line continues as a road and when you get to the junction with the main road, there is your Hunter on a pole.

PS it looks like it is an ex Fleet Air Arm example going by the colours, and that would fit in with the fact that Ford was a RNAS.

Today is Memorial Day in the US, and there are flybys over the nearby Veteran's Cemetery. I missed a jet flyby, but here are the T-6s that fly by every year:

nice pics, i like that FW190 painted T6 there, lots of whiff potential.

anyway, i havent been able to post movements this afternoon, since the site was unaccesable, but here's what flew over my house today.

at lunchtime, i had 3 Royal Navy Seaking HC.4's in formation over here.
and just 20 minutes ago, i had a glimps of the future, an NH90 NFH (Dutch Navy bird), a very impressive machine

For Army of One, more on that Hunter.

Go to this site and look up WW654. Then click on the serial which is shown underlined and in red, and you will see a photo of that Hunter up it's pole.

yesterday morning over coventry airport i saw a CH-47 chinook which i assume was from odiham.

however, quite late the previous evening a very military looking helo also flew over the airport which i couldn't identify. it was either
a merlin or a NH90 TTH from the angle i saw it.

[Spey_Phantom]

seen an Airbus/CASA C295 fly over when i just left the house, propably a Polish or Czech AF one

And when you're driving out of Arundel closely following a van, it is a big surprise when you spot the nose of a jet at very low level coming out of the bushes!
FWIW, this aircraft is on http://www.thunder-and-lightnings.co.uk/hunter/survivors.php

Was out with the family playing softball last night.  During a water break between innings, an AStar flew over.  There was a searchlight or maybe a FLIR under the nose, and the helo sported a dark blue/white paint scheme with no obvious markings.  I thought it might be a police bird, but Tallahassee and the Florida Highway Patrol don't operate helicopters, and the Leon County Sheriff's Department has either a Bell 206 or a retired OH-58 (or both).

Was literally just overflown by one of the Michigan National Guard's CH-47's.  Dang that thing's loud (can't believe the USAF was going to make that noise machine into a SF aircraft...).

[Cliffy B]

Had a pair of Superbugs do several low and slow flyovers after dinner.  I grabbed the camera and waited for another hour but they didn't come back
