For you and me, yes, but not when it results in Mrs_PR19 coming down the hall screaming 'WHAT was that???'  :o

The Lanc and Red Arrows were at the (free) Swansea Air Show as was a Typhoon whose glorious jet thunder could be heard across the bay.

Ahah, yes, a Swansea to Conningsby flight path does go pretty close to Lydney, so long as you keep dodging OVER the roofs of all the houses in the way!  :o

It occurs to me that they may have been flying at 250 ft amsl, and my house is 175 ft above the high water line so 250 - 175 = not that much!

Well there's your next project Kit: a Lanc with longer wings so it can fly at a decent height  ;). Be sure to send the BBMF a pic when it's done.... :wacko:

Hehehe, isn't that a  Lincoln?  ;D

I have something rather like that on the bench, but it has no gun turrets.......  ;)

A few days ago, while our son was home for a weeks R&R, he and SWMBO decided they wanted to go for a walk along the shore at low tide.
There is a good spot less than two miles away and it just so happens it is just off the upwind end of Rwy31 at Prestwick.
As I can not walk very well now, I sat on the top of the sand dunes with camera in hand, and was rewarded by this Herk departing from said runway.

8:30 LAST EVENING a crop duster was doing two fields just next to our little village - WHY was he doing it this late?  Our poor dogs were most upset!

Not a plane, but probably one of the rarest things I've spotted, a working Sinclair C5!!!  On the way home yesterday and had to divert due to roadworks, a guy was just pootling along in the opposite direction.  I remember all the press about them in the eighties, but this is the first time I've seen one that isn't a stationary exhibt.
I don't think it's nice, you laughin'. You see, my mule don't like people laughin'. He gets the crazy idea you're laughin' at him. Now if you apologize, like I know you're going to, I might convince him that you really didn't mean it.

Did you have rain earlier or was there a heavy dew ?  From what the farmer who does the fields around my place said to me was you can't spray with anything until the damp has dried off.
