We got to see the lead heli section over my works location, Gunby, E. Lincs, Wildcats in trail followed by Puma/Chinook, as they headed NNE to start the run in with one r/h orbit and through our overhead again before commencing a l/h turn for Cranwell. More than I had expected to see today...so happ...

Seen setting up onto Coningsby approach over Gunby, E. Lincs 10:40am.

I recall in subsequent days, a Canberra carrying out some overflights and also a Whirlwind spending some time in the hover above.

Having seen the Vulcan, clearly with fire, and counting parachutes out, it was still very shocking when it went nose down to leave the sky....

C.

I remember seeing it from the school playing field....

Just noted a C130, out East abeam Spilsby 9:50am, looked to be heading over Gunby in a Donna Nook direction.

Clive.

I think it was an Atlas that we sighted over Gunby, up in the haze, heading Donna way again today and later heard but not sighted on way back.

C.

Sighted the A400 en route to the range over Gunby Hall Gardens.

Also sighted a C130 heading that way in the morning and away again, back SW, just before lunch.

Clive.

A400 sighted NW abeam Gunby Hall & Gardens, E. Lincs...12:20pm routing NE.

C17 seen overhead Gunby Hall Gardens, E. Lincs this morning at 10:53am, heading NE.

I found it fascinating to see the XM600 related items on the Roadshow. Especially as I had witnessed the crew escape and the loss of this Vulcan in 1977. Watching from the school playing field we had seen the rear crew parachutes in the distance and then a fourth 'chute when the aircraft was nearer....

Thank you for info' on what I had seen.

Clive.

Typhoon and Tornado as a pair passing Gunby Hall & Gardens, E. Lincs at 4:17pm, turning onto approach, with gear. Nice sight in the half light with landing lights really lighting the way..

Clive.

Right over the top of Gunby Hall & Gardens too. :thumbs: . On the way to display as a single formation...returning as two flights. A single Hawk passing us, heading NNW, earlier in the day too. ...and today, 24/8/14, I suspect it was the Reds that I heard passing just West of us at Gunby at 4:58pm.....

It was lovely to see the Hunter, viewed from my works location at Gunby turning onto Coningsby approach.

Clive.

Thank you for posting the movements list. I just knew that was a Hunter that I was seeing in the distance turning onto approach...viewed from my work location at Gunby.

The Dakota passed overhead us this morning routing back from its sortie out towards the coast.


Clive.

Seen passing Gunby Hall & Gardens about 2:35pm heading North, descending.

Clive.

Interesting to see the Defender this afternoon. Turned onto approach, from the North, at Gunby, E. Lincs, 3:49pm.

Clive.

8:07am (by my watch )Typhoon noted passing Gunby from the coast for Coningsby at a goodly rate of knots.
Same time as noted last week, Friday.?

Clive.

I wonder then if it was G-COBS that I spotted orbiting for some time today...out to the SE from Gunby Hall, E. Lincs.
