Robin Parker (Red Spider) - Yorkshire AO Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 They used to fly over our house in Garforth in the '60s. Thought it was Concorde. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1pearman Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 Cool - it's based near Scunthorpe so could be a test flight. Or it could be Elvington air show this weekend? We used to get the Tornado's come over at about that height on training runs to the NY Moors when i was a kid. The plane would come over and then about 3 second later the noise would come!! Gave the dog a fright! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stuart Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 It's appearing at Throckmorton air show in Worcestershire Sat June 6th. Used to watch these annually at Finningley air show as a kid. Along with the Lightning. Still vivid memories decades later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
