Saw an Amercian Colonel with a blonde flattop walking into Milden Hall closely followed by someone that looked like Jackie Chan. Think round 1 was iminent.

Did you hear any shouts of "HadoKen"?

 

[Overlag]

What school did you go to överlag? I'm from hornchurch/Romford

The Albany. Wykenham for junior and infant.

 

[wildman]

So it was the Luftwaffe, the Germans are trying to invade again

more likely Trump sending in the bombers for Johnson because he didn't support his insurection in DC last week

Ha me too. Havering 6th form?
Very small world.
Do you drive a 365 or 248

 

[Chojin]

Somebody went home to be a family man.

Yeah, that makes me believe this wasn’t just a simple comms problem as well.

It’s standard for a prolonged loss of comms (PLOC). If an aircraft goes quiet for a long time it almost certainly will be intercepted. The trip to Stansted is also highly likely unless there is an obvious and verifiable justification to let it continue. Bizjets by their very nature have enough question marks over them in general to almost guarantee the diversion.

Haha nice work

 

[dacads]

Nope but was heard 30 miles away in Ely

I must be deaf

Ardleigh Green. I drive a 128

 

[Efour]

Aww you get to see Romford station everyday

 

[alchal]

always lame when you go an airshow to see a typhoon or whatever ever and 0 sonic booms even though they're flying over the bloody sea off the coast of Sunderland.

Probably for the best, be a lot of shattered windows at display hight and probably eardrums as well.
Re heat makes enough roar surly.

 

[Freakbro]

Shows how used to the noise you get, I didn't even notice them taking off from Coningsby

 

[Admiral Huddy]

Yep, heard it in Chelmsford

Hello fellow Chelmsfordite..
same here, I was on a run.. though my knee cap poppoed out.

 

[Penfold101]

Things like this make me wish I’d been born 30 years earlier so my RAF career would’ve been more fun...

Red Arrows are almost the louding thing beside the tycoon up here.

just because everything else never flies over head it's really lame at Sunderland the planes literally are like 1-2 miles out at sea

The crowd display line does seem to get further and further away unfortunately.

If you want loud and close then sitting outside coningsby is good, closet RAF fast jet base to Sunderland now.

Indeed! When they do a high speed past it's hard to keep up as it is.

Shoreham was a sobering event which demonstrated the need for change. I don’t think air shows will be the same again.

Bruntingthorpe was a best place for up close and loud, even if they weren’t flying. That’s come to a grinding halt now as well unfortunately.
