They were over the CLIFTONVILLE about 1015 , wondered what they wanted

 

[Super Steve Earle]

At least they weren't Klingon Warbirds!

That's filming for a new Hollywood take on the Battle of Britain, where our hapless Spitfire, is saved at the final hour by the arrival of brave squadrons of Mustangs and Thunderbolts.

Yes, the years, nations and planes are all out, but it's Hollywood.

They are on their way to the big Air show at Fairford in Gloucestershire this weekend

 

[Shopes]

They flew over my house in Peacehaven, so I looked the flights up on a flight radar site and it looks like it was these guys https://www.flyingbulls.at/en/

 

[Madafwo]

Pretty sure it was the Red Bull Flying Bulls. The largest of the aircraft was a DC6 apparently.

Seriously? That may explain some baffling previous correspondence

Anyway .....bit fond of a premium car number plate, the both of them....

I never found reason to up-bling mine. FURQHAHA seemed perfectly sufficient.

Are u sure? I did not see the Lanc take off today from Fairford. If it was in the distance it might have been the D.C. 6 mentioned above.
