Lots of other traffic expected over the south east this week with the G20 Summit taking place.

Some has already arrived.

Worst I live in a posh place post, ever.

For a moment I thought you were going to say Kandahar.

Came over a rise (blind spot) on the old A19 in N Yorks a year or 2 back only to find one of these hovering the other side in an ambush position. I was what you might call "shocked and awed" and the bugger wasnt even firing at me. :-)

Vauxhall Astra spotted on the M6 near Knutsford yesterday

[ianash]

I saw it travelling north over Little Chalfont - looked really menacing.

They fly around these parts a fair bit, bloody noisy things.

I live a few miles from Army air corps middle wallop, so see alot of them, also not far from RAF Odiham where the Chinnok is based.

Read Apache Dawn a book about the Brits learning to fly these & going into war with them. Fantastic book & lacks the gung ho bit as you'd expect of brits in the battlefield.

Yes the Astra was there, but behind it flying northwards was the helicopter. HTH

They have been flying around Wiltshire a lot recently too.

I'd second that - I was out in the TVR a few weeks ago on the Wilts/ Hants border and above the noise of the engine I heard a rumble - it took a few seconds of wondering what had fallen off the car before I realised that the rumble was an Apache right over head - impressive looking piece of kit!

Quite.

Next thing we'll be seeing Hercs and Chinooks also!

Wow!

[TheEnd]

I see the C17 medical plane quite a bit, bringing soldiers to the Army hospital in Birmingham.



Carry on...

A few years back while driving into London on the A40 by RAF Northolt, I saw an A10 Thunderbolt take off in front of me, in desert storm colours as well.
I thought that was quite unusual.
