Mogster 10 #1 Posted July 8, 2020 Just saw two planes flying low in formation over south Sheffield but I didn’t get a good enough view to identify them, anyone know what they were? TIA Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
breadcakes 10 #2 Posted July 8, 2020 (edited) They passed over my house in shirecliffe heading towards hillsborough.Must have only been 300ft or so as my partner said you could see the pilots.

Mogster 10 #3 Posted July 8, 2020 One of them looked like a drone to me but guess not if the pilots were visible! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Arthur Ritus 30 #6 Posted July 8, 2020 These are the two plane types Diamond DA42[9] and one Diamond DA62 of DEA aviation based out at Retford, flew up to Huddersield and back. Interestingly for whatever reason they were flying at half the altitude of the police plane circulating out at Treeton who i presume was looking for some one. I really must get a hobby or a life or something. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Definitely not drones but I didn’t get a good look at them, I was sat at the traffic lights in Woodseats with a very restricted view when they went over. And there’s nothing wrong with being a plane geek! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Arthur Ritus 30 #9 Posted July 8, 2020 (edited) If the link works this should show it. https://global.adsbexchange.com/?icao=407637 Right click the "k" on the right and it will give the altitudes and times. 750 feet over Shirecliffe.
