Birds

There I was taking pics of the starling invasion every afternoon,



When another two different kinds of birds appeared in the sky, sadly not a common sight over Kent these days,
Anyone recognise the sillohette, (cant spell that word)

So what are they? :D

 

Looks like they could be the silhouettes of a couple of spitfires there's a couple that go about doing displays.

 

They could be part of the Battle of Britain display. They are a Spitfire, a Hurricane and a Lancaster - the only flying one left. Here's a badly zoomed shot of them at Airday a couple of years ago...

 

Oops sorry Pete ,yes Spitfires i'd say too.

 

Yes your right, it was a couple of Spitfires, unmistakable in the sky, and with a sound all their own.

 

I actually have some very good closeups of the threesome taken over Bucks (we were a hop, skip and jump from Halton) and from the IoW ... but they not digital. My Dad flew a Spitfire so it's sort of whatsit ...

My favourite is the Vulcan ...

 

Never did like Spock. :D

But I know what you mean LoL, the bigger and noisier the better.
Some of the old ones still have a certain something though.

 

In the winter ... ha, ha ... I do plan to sort through my photos and I'll have t'other half scan some of them and you'll see some beauts ...

I love planes, have flown them and it's just another strange part of my life ...

 

What have you flown LoL?
I reckon something like a pitts special is your kinda plane. :D

 

A Cesma amd a ??? ... pete, I was in my late teens at the time ...

I flew planes and drove race cars ... something to do with my Dad ...

PS Can't lie with my Sis here ...

 

Really would have liked to have flown a plane, but never got the chance.
One day I might try one of those trial flying lessons if they'll let me. :D

 

I was actually edgy in planes when we were coming to Portugal because I couldn't see what they were doing .. I say "was" as I've not been in a plane for years. T'other half always said to me that I couldn't cope with flying because I wasn't in control .... TOO TRUE.

Try it, pete, it's a wonderful experience, and you'll NEVER want to have anyone fly you again ... believe me ...
