I wonder if Chris saw a Dakota or the Junkers 52 that was buzzing along the Thames at 5pm as I was leaving work. Typically I didn't have a camera to hand but it was being followed by a film helicopter at rather low level!

The word Rimowa was under one wing and I think they are a luggage makers who sponsor a Tante Ju for publicity.

No definitely a Dakota Nick even I'd notice the lack of third engine - Nick's seen my glasses  :blink: ;D

on my way home this morning, i stopped at a brugges hospital to see the EMS Helicopter (AS355-F2)
later had an overflight of a Belgian Air Force Sf.260 marchetti and an Agusta A109  :mellow:
on the bench:

-all kinds of things.

Over our shop. Enbridge has a chopper but I think this guys covers for her when she's down....get buzzed a lot when we're out in the filed too. Sometimes he wags his wings and flashes his lights. One day I'll snap some better pics and maybe a video.




Working a lot in Windsor ( Ontario  :thumbsup: ) And always see stuff from Selfridge, like this old Chinook. Saw a Homeland Notsicurity AW-139 too, but no photos. Sometimes, when you're in the plants, they frown upon some kid running around snapping photos ;-)

Light aircraft with retractable undercarriage always look somehow odd to me  :blink:

The Wooksta!

Some very noisy and very low helicopters buzzing over Fenham/Cowgate last night.  Too loud for the flying pig and the engine noise was different.  Couldn't have been the transplant chopper or teh air ambulance either.  Didn't sound like a Chinook either.

The RAF are out to play with the army at the local airport, so we have had an assortment of Herculeses (Herculi??) over in the last couple of days.

Sitting nearly under the Inbound traffic for Philadelphia International Airport, LOTS of Airbus 319/320/321 today . . . (along with the other stuff)

Just started a job in an office on the edge of Lincoln. On Friday we had the Red Arrows followed by the BBMF. I was told "oh yes, we get a lot of that around here".

A change from the Typhoons over Leyland, but I saw a Typhoon last week as well.
If this is Upper Silesia, one can only wonder what Lower Silesia is like.

As the Reds are based at Scampton, just north of Lincoln, you surely WILL get used to them  ;D

Not to mention the Sentries and other stuff from Waddington just south or the city too.
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

Saw an L-410 Turbolet at low altitude over north Gloucester this morning, presumably heading for Staverton, but no chance of a piccie as it was scudding in and out of the low cloud base.
