JJsDad Posted August 20, 2018 Report Share Posted August 20, 2018 (edited) Yep, I live over behind Brands Hatch & we had them turning low in formation getting ready for their run in over Biggin Hill. Scared the living daylights out of the local pigeon population as they were banking down quite low over us. The wife, who likes scrolling through facebook saw a comment from sad individual who was complaining about low flying aircraft on a Sunday !!!! Tempted to tell them to get a life.

CaptainBeaky Posted August 20, 2018 Report Share Posted August 20, 2018 'Twas great ? Sitting in the pub garden with a beer and some mates, watching the aircraft over the Darent Valley, heading towards Biggin. Red Arrows, BBMF, Sally B, and something which might have been a Typhoon or two flying just low enough to be obscured by the yes from where we were. And Merlin music all weekend as well ( the two-seat Spitfires always fly over our house, and they will occasionally do some more energetic manoeuvres over the valley, presumably if the passenger has a. paid for it, and b. has a strong enough stomach... ?

Pistol p Posted August 20, 2018 Report Share Posted August 20, 2018 Yes, I saw them yesterday. We were at the festival italia at brands hatch, they must of been using it a marshalling point as they came across a number of times over the afternoon.

Dekers Posted August 20, 2018 Report Share Posted August 20, 2018 They seem impressive even when they are doing nothing! I've seen them on the way to shows and they appear to fly in formation all the way! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mice! Posted August 20, 2018 Report Share Posted August 20, 2018 only saw it on the news last week? But they showed the F35s arriving in formation from America, only four or five but the looked the business. And saw a program Britain from the air? They went up in a spitfire and the presenter who can fly got to take the controls, he was a bit happy, also showed a very big airship which i didn't know they were still making.

The Black Arrows .....About twice as many planes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
