Low Red Arrows
« on: October 31, 2007, 16:00:43 »
Does anyone know why the R.A.F Red Arrows were flying over Wellingborough at 3 pm today?

They came over my house so low that it rocked the house and woke me up :evil:

That was cool the first time I went back to sleep but the second, third and then a forth time not so pleased.

They were flying in a dimond formation (spelling?) Anyone know why?

Was cool to see them as it always is but why so low?

They pretty much practice all year round, even get a holiday to Cyprus to practice.

MUST HAVE BEEN THEM FLYING BACK A BIT LATER JUST AFTER DARK, THEY OFTEN NEARLY CLIP THE BARN ROOF HERE.
LAST YEAR WE WATCHED A TWIN BLADE HELICOPTER FLY *UNDER* THE PYLON CABLES OVER THE FIELDS, THEY TAKE THE PEE OUT HERE, OFTEN SHACKING THE BUILDINGS.
