    Some photos from RAF 100. I’m right under the flight path in London for the annual flyovers. This one was 2018 and also accompanied by the french armée de l'Air

    This is when trump came to London a few years back. 4 of these circled over London the whole
    Time he was here. As if he’s not bad enough he brings an entourage like this to spoil your day. * copters I think they are called C103CFC1-89E7-4557-8677-E3D5E49F3F0A.jpeg

    My brother was a high ranking RAF officer and at one point was responsible for the flyovers and manoeuvres of the red arrows amongst his duties.

    I was at the Leuchars air show a good few years ago with some pals and there were vulcans there taking off and flying low overhead. It is the loudest thing I have ever heard in my life. It's that way you can actually feel the sound waves vibrating right through you to your very bones. And that's not just a turn of phrase, that's literally how it felt. Awesome machines they were.

    Been loads of activity the last week or so around here. Jets kicking about Leuchars again and these bad boys flying very low and loud. That big triangle peninsula is Barry Buddon MOD training range, probably an exercise on

    Just had two of these go over the house, very very low and very loud, assume they were Ospreys, maybe American Air Force. I know there are war games kicking about but wasn't sure when/where

    Didn't show up on flight radar like they usually do
