Was enjoying a fine pint of Goachers Kentish Ale in Matfield last week when the pub was overflown by one of the Spitfire Mk IXs based at Biggin Hill, complete with D-Day Stripes.

Could have been 1944...

Two military helicopters heading east flew low over Seaford beach last week, one soldier on board pulling back the door and standing staring down just as they passed overhead. (Not a very technical summation I appreciate!).

Lewes seems to be on a Chinook ‘flight path’ as they occasionally come over of an evening.

Shame there were no F35s at any air shows this year...hopefully next year.

There was one at RIAT, albeit for two very brief passes.

I saw one do a full display at Farnborough in 2016 - very impressive.
