I'm scared of helicopters -particularly chinnocks, and every day this week we have had crazy low fly overs (normally 3 at a time) of chinnocks and apaches. The whole house shakes it's terrifying (for me anyway!) Today the chinnocks looked like they were carrying aid packages underneath? Apparently there is some NATO training thing at Salisbury? Some really crazy planes have gone over tonight - the look like modern versions of old wartime bombers with propellers on each wing? Any plane buffs on here?
There's a big NATO military exercise going on at the moment. Did they drop any freebies in your garden? http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/defence/11551535/Chinook-helicopter-makes-accidental-800ft-cargo-drop-in-field.html

I didn't even know there was another coming
Ditto. I'm amazed though, isn't the queen about 110? The old racist duke must have super glued a fair few lolly sticks to his todge, to make that happen.

Locals would point at it, if it flew over Brizzle.

Nope it was similar but smaller than that with only one propeller on each side? I've not had any aid dropped in my garden yet! Clearly I don't look malnutritioned enough? Oh and lm not quite that simple flashheart!

My plane loving mate assures me there were 2 V22 Osprey Us Marine Corps heading down to Keevil.

interesting plane the Osprey, killed lots of people during its chequered and prolonged development cycle. but its pretty cool, those props rotate to turn it into a prop driven harrier (VTOL)

Celtic supporters are apparently having a vote to decide whether to boycott next year's Scottish cup as they didn't get given a penalty in their semi final defeat.
Wallopers.
