It was that unmistakable growl of the RR Merlin that drew my attention skywards to it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
saywhatnow   33 #41 Posted August 21, 2018 been a few knocking around Biggin Hill earlier today, as well as a Hawker Fury 2 and a Yakovlev Yak-3...  There's a few airshows this coming weekend, most of them Birmingham or further south and also Rhyl airshow. Might have something to do with that? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Beau Nidle   10 #42 Posted September 2, 2018 The aforementioned aircraft has just flown across the middle of town, and up over Crookes heading north west. F/R 24 says it was flying at 1,860 feet, and it looked magnificent, and the 4 Merlins as ever roaring away! I detest gardening, but I'm glad I was coerced into it today. Anyone else see it? Fabulous sight! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Garygriff02 Â Â 10 #43 Posted September 2, 2018 Has anyone any idea what the large 4 engine plane is that flew over Loxley this afternoon? Possibly WII. Pretty sure I saw it on the far horizon last week as well. Similar size and shape to Lancaster Bomber but not a Lancaster (No gun turrets).

Garygriff02 Â Â 10 #44 Posted September 2, 2018 I've just posted on this.It flew over my house in Loxley about 45 mins ago. Are you sure it was a Lancaster? It didnt appear to have any gun turrets. Certainly similar size though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
