Low flying plane

Anominity · 6 Jul 2010 at 14:05

Did anyone see the plane that flew over central London at 14:00 today, I just heard it, and it sounded pretty damn loud, being inside a large sound proofed building and all.

So was just wondering if anyone saw and can identify what it was?

You don't watch the news much do you? It went straight into The houses of parliament its all over the news now. It was a 737 apparently.

I was almost in shock when I seen two low flying 747's coming over my small town (nearest airports were Bristol about 30 miles away, and Cardiff about 40 miles away). Two 747's side by side, flying really low, it was found out that one was refuelling the other one whilst in the air.3

Apart from that we regulaly have RAF fighter jets, chinooks etc flying over as there is an army base about 2 minutes from my house.

I saw them on the way from Goodwood to Waddington on Saturday, only for a few seconds mind you then they were gone.

Might make a trip to Farnborough at the end of the month.
