Well, they weren't obviously, but 12 helicopters flew East over my flat and looked just like a flight of Huey's on route to twat charlie

Was upstairs with the telly on. Didn’t hear a thing. ARP Warden took my gas mask back yesterday!

 

[tsmiggy]

They were Chinooks and Apaches.

I was outside luckily, and they were low. Love the sound of Chinooks

They were low weren't they, the approaching noise was very loud too

 

[tsmiggy]

Yes they were low. I actually felt the Chinooks pounding my chest. The Apaches were quieter, but looked more menacing.

How loud was your tv @borebage53 ?

Red Arrows were over Leicestershire this morning around 10am. East of the county and towards Oakham en route from base at RAF Waddington heading for Fairford,Gloucestershire.

RAF Fairford has a 9,990 feet runway with an unrestricted load-bearing capacity to support any aircraft with any type of load.
Fairford currently also hosts a detachment of USAF Lockheed U-2S Dragon Lady aircraft of the 99th Expeditionary Reconnaissance Squadron.
It is the USAF’s only remaining European airfield for heavy bombers!
