So I have a ton of V-22 traffic over the house today. At least 12 Ospreys flew east in groups of four with a slight distance between each group. Some of them flew back over.

To hear something new in the skies is something refreshing from all of the Cobras and Hueys.

Hope this doesn't come under politics but has anyone any idea what that GCHQ Islander  :dalek: is doing flying near constant lazy loops over my house in East London? I'm fascinated to know about what its actual mission is. Its engine signature can send me potty at night....and then there's that police ,copter at 2+am :banghead: :banghead: :banghead:

Time,  I  think,  for the tin foil hat!!   ...................unless you are actually planning a coup.  In the latter case,  sit down and have a cup of tea and the sensation will fade in due course.

We have just had a Royal Navy Sea King arriving at the local hospital  just down the road from my house. I assume that it's a weather related incident.
