Queen's Birthday Flypast
Jun. 16th, 2007 01:17 pmThe weather was crap and only the WW2 vintage planes came towards my house at an angle that gave me more than a second to take the picture. I missed all the jets completely, since they were below the treeline and I only saw glimpses, but I think that these make up for it. I haven't done anything to sharpen them up etc., but given the conditions (raining and me balanced on a chair at an attic window) I don't think they're too bad.

No aeronefs though...
Tomorrow the Falklands anniversary flypast and hopefully better weather. No restored Vulcan bomber, unfortunately, it hasn't passed its airworthiness tests as I understand it.
Later My guess as to the routes taken by today's planes - not very sure of the jets, may have been a bit further North:
( map )
This was presumably done to get the slow stuff out of the way of the jets ASAP. If they do this for the Falklands flypast too I might get some helicopters overhead, maybe a Hercules or something. I think that the planes may have been banking for a more westerly heading as they passed over my house.
