    Anyone else like Birds AND planes?

    The reason I asked, even though knowing it looked very much like one, was because when first picked up on engine noise, I thought it sounded underpowered compared to say one of our Spits., which generally have a distinctive growl (praps it’s a Merlin feature?) Was wondering at the time, if it...

    Believe it’s the first time I’ve seen a freight liner without any branding/lettering. Yes no.2. probably a bit obscure, bit of an age thing….relating Austrian Airlines to the famous (Austrian) Von Trapp singers that escaped Nazi occupation during WW2.

    What’s in a name. Nothing! if branding is anything to go by on this freight liner? On a lighter note…looks like the Von Trapps finally made it.🤣

    Out hunting warblers in the forest scrub this evening when this appeared, above the trees…a WW2 transport plane….didn’t think it was a Dakota…dunno? Cheers

    FWIW, the pair went NEast passing at 13.24 approx.10 miles from St.Paul’s.👍

    A “grey day” couple over this am, will take a stab at the first image…an army Lynx? Don’t have a scooby with the second.😩 Cheers

    Not to worry, I know you’re a belligerent old bugger…albeit junior to me.🤣

    Spitfire was the first name that came to mind, however it looked to my eye to be too deep a structure beneath the engine compartment? Anyway, here’s a better shot….I think?….and in mitigation, it was a bloody long way off….say the images!👍

    Suddenly appeared distantly from behind a row of houses, I fired off a burst and they were all thumbs down quality. However, I’m thinking Soviet colours, but am unsure of the plane? Cheers

    Our booked BA flight to Paphos in April was cancelled and we were “there and backed” by Finnair…presume they were the third party?😮

    Had these two over the house this am (got on to them a bit late), haven’t a scooby as to their ID, albeit they look pro-active? Cheers

    Had this Royal Navy Merlin? quite low over Battersea Park yesterday, initially assumed it was from the US Embassy almost adjacent, a tick for me, although a “columbarius” would have been preferred.😮

    Anyone else like Birds AND planes?

    An hour+ up the road from USAF Lakenheath at Hunstanton with “carer in tow”, I shot this “ahead of it’s sound”, looking at the tail, am thinking another F-15? carrying a “lotta-ordnance”.😮

    Anyone else like Birds AND planes?

    Popped into the viewing area at Mildenhall, Suffolk this am (first time) to witness two “Fokkers” 🤣 on the deck “firing up” before take off. Never having heard airforce jet engines as the above on “the ground” before, perhaps 800-1000m away the roar almost deafened me! Presume F…something or...
