Any closet plane-spotters?

Ohh that Freedar site is a bit better !

Only issue with freedar is on iPhone it keeps crashing so you have to delete the app and reinstall.

Got bored with it and moved to ADS-B exchange.

Mind you FR24 shows a fair bit of military as well these days.

We visited Duxford today and got lucky as the only airworthy Lancaster in UK was doing a 4 engine shakedown test.
We were about 20 meters away with all 4 engines going. What a noise.
Sadly they pushed it back to the hanger so didn’t see it fly.

but with 4 engines would be beyond (even bleeped swear) words!

not sure a Lanc would do it

a Mosquito would be a different story!!


and, of course, a Buccaneer would regard that as a high altitude pass

I seen that clip a few times. He never once breaks the horizon.
This is a still shot taken a couple of seconds before by the camera crew as he passes the roadway.
If he hadn’t of pull-up they would all be dead. And to be fair the pilot is probably a little too low for comfort.

It was very nearly the Jetty scene in I think Catch 22

Just checked all the closets in the house and I can confirm there are no planes in any of them.

What about plane spotters?

The pilot was the late Ray Hannah, who was also responsible for this:

I've had a good look and I can't find any in the closet, but I spotted this one in the bench drawer:
