Re: Plane Spotters Corner
Pretty sure I've just been over-flown by a pair of F-22s, though I have no idea what they would be doing around Loch Lomond. The camera's never handy when you need it ...

There's an exercise on at the moment Chris, I think this just about covers your area

Re: Plane Spotters Corner
That exercise wouldn't have F22's participating.. More than likely to be doing practice for Joint Warrior which is a major exercise taking place on the 16th to the 26th April off the Scottish coast. Be aware Chris is that if you have a GPS you may find problems with it during the exercise if you live far enough north.

Re: Plane Spotters Corner
My bike GPS was going haywire (locating satellites) the other day when we were out on the trails but this was down near Chester and I wouldn't have thought any jamming activities would affect this far South.

OMG, how are people going to manage? Nobody has maps any more 
Actually being serious my drivers carry very few maps. They have a Smartnav system, and a Garmin as a backup

An AAIB report says that there was a fuel supply problem which caused the crash in July last year.

Re: Plane Spotters Corner
Interesting, if it ever happens:
Quote:
British and Burmese authorities could work together to find 20 Spitfires buried in Burma at the end of the World War II, officials say.
The planes were buried in 1945 by the RAF amid fears that they could either be used or destroyed by Japanese forces, but in the intervening years they have not been located.
At the time they were unused, still in crates, and yet to be assembled.

Re: Plane Spotters Corner
I was told by a guy at work that the A380 will be coming to Stansted.
It is on the A380 direvert approved list.

Re: Plane Spotters Corner
A Virgin aircraft's just made an emergency landing at Gatwick after smoke was reported in the cabin.
If it's the regular flight then it was G-VSXY which is an airbus 330, gatwick's now shut to flights for a bit..
