Les will be completely baffled by this during his afternoon S'net browse.

Here's one for Les http://flic.kr/p/cu9b71

I assume from the photos that you must be in one of the planes.
How do you get to do that?

No ..up the side of a mountain mate ..left to right shots here (Cad West)

and right to left shots here

Nice pics Jonny . . . http://www.flickr.com/photos/jonnyweb142

Awesome...http://www.flickr.com/photos/jonnywe...n/photostream/

Some great pics there mate, love em

is it just me or are the f15's alot higher than the nado's and harriers?

crackign pics them, i see the pilots spotted the guys taking footage and gave a wave hehe

Why should I be baffled. We used to find it was something interesting to do of an afternoon!

Les :)

I don't think they are used to flying low given that their normal role is flying top cover. Doubt they have ground following radar either, and maybe not know the area....oh and they are not the RAF either :D

hehe, yeah, was a bit of a cheeky comment hehe

Is there a schedule for when they're up there ?, that is something I have to witness !!!

Awesome shots and videos :thumb:

Thanks (video's not mine though,i just put them on to give some idea of what it's like there) ..There's no timetable on what if anything might come through.perfect days often have little or no passes !, avoid weekends bank holidays too as its 'Closed'...Very low cloud / hill fog can ruin things too especially for the Yanks !!..more info on location ,info at http://www.lowflymedia.com/ and a great dedicated forum at http://fox2.co.uk/..Thanks Jon

Such a shame there is so little to see these days. Can remember being in the Lake District in the early eighties and the plane would be over pretty much no stop. Not uncommon to see

A10
F111
Jags
Hawk
Tornado
Phantom
Buccs
Hercs
Lightning

All in one afternoon back then

You missed the Tin Triangle then!

That was bad luck.

Les :)

I remember in 1990 (just before the first Gulf War as it happened), I watched an MC-130 and an AC-130H flying the length pf Thirlmere at not much more than 50 ft at such a low speed it seemed as if they would drop out of the sky :D

Steve

yes just a bit too young for the triangle, talking post 1984 here.

Low level Vulcan

Back in the day

Unlucky then!

Les ;)
