No worries, just watch out for the cabbage crates coming over the briny.

Good point.... so grab your egg and fours and let’s get the bacon delivered.

 

[Weststander]

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.

They were together so I assumed they were connected. It certainly looked like a Lanc, but I'm no expert in plane spotting.
Goodwood? Rehearsing for Hastings next week?

At least they weren't Klingon Warbirds!

They would have been cloaked

Shit buddy don’t give away my location.... bead window bead window.

Don't forget to cheer on the band and especially QCS, who have an Albion fan amongst there ranks

Well of COURSE they weren't Klingon war birds. I can't believe anybody seriously believed they'd see Klingon war birds in the skies of Sussex - they'd have been cloaked!

EDIT: Bugger, beaten to it by Maltaseagull!

shame i missed them, the corsair was one of the first airfix kits I made. Love the lightning as well (and no I am not a plane spotter).

On a different but related subject I have seen a spitfire over Woodingdean about 6 times in last 3 weeks , I wonder if someone local has bought a new toy.

You are 20 miles away from Goodwood and there are two Spitfires based there. If you want a flight in their 2 seater you can have either 30 or 50 minutes worth and, I believe, choose where you go (within reason) along the coast. 300 plus MPH will get you from Chichester to Woodingdean pretty swiftly!

Maybe it's one of those but certainly been overhead more frequently in recent weeks.
