On the return trip now

I had an appointment in town today, so took my camera with me and managed to catch the RAF flypast overhead. Unfortunately it was the most overcast morning we have had for a while so most of the photos came out as silhouettes. It was still pretty impressive. When I have time I will see if I can get any more colour out of them but here are a few shots. Those amongst you with better knowledge may be able to identify them. I know the last ones are the Red Arrows.

Having watched it on TV I know the first is spitfire, Lancaster and hurricanes.
Second is tornados, soon to be retired.
Third is the typhoon euro fighter. The most ever flown in formation.

Thanks There were certainly a lot of typhoons. I couldn't fit them all in the shot!

22 could hear them all take off from where I work, had most of them fly past on the way back.

Did see the BBMF up the night before doing a photo shoot. Now that was pretty spectacular

100 aircraft, or just over a Nimitz full.

Tornadoes taking off made half the car alarms go off. Right, Lovely, racket. Perks of my job watching them take off and land, from my office window.

Was there no Dakota in the BBMF?

The Dakota was just ahead of the others:

Something flew over yesterday with a big V12 aero engine rumbling splitter sound, but I'd had gone before I could get to a window.

Phil, you must have been standing not far from where I was standing....

I was alerted by the unfamiliar sound of a low flying aircraft earlier this evening. It had passed over before I could see it but Flight Radar 24 indicated that it had been a Bombardier Global 6000 GLEX on a flight from Minneapolis landing at Inverness, which seemed unusual to me.
Any enthusiasts have more information?

 

[classic33]

Either of these?
