Re: Plane Spotters Corner

Oh dear, that is not good. Just been looking on pprune. Not much about it at the moment.
Let's hope there are some survivors.

Re: Plane Spotters Corner

Spent the afternoon at East Midlands Airport today and apart from the usual BMI Baby, RyanAir and Easyjet, the Royal Airforce were doing takeoffs and landings all afternoon (RAFTristar) which was good fun plus a few other airlines.....and also spotted this little gem too....

Re: Plane Spotters Corner

At about 3pm we had a Spitfire and a ww2 bomber went overhead from east to west (location here is between Luton and Bedford)

Not sure what the bomber was but it wasn't the lancaster of the BBMF, had a split tail and twin engines (something a bit like an Avro Manchester.)

Anyone else see it and/or identify the bomber?

Re: Plane Spotters Corner

It could be a mitchell I suppose, was painted though a dark color with three yellow stripes on the base of each wing..

Re: Plane Spotters Corner

Picked up my daughter on the 24th from Volos airport (Nea Anchialos), which is co-located with the Greek Air Force 111th Combat Wing - there were a couple of F16s being hangared, but I didn't take any photos, as the Greek military get a bit tetchy if you do that.
