Great Sounding Typhoons Flying Through The Mach Loop Wales.

I love the howling sound the eurofighters make as they approach the photographers on the mountain.

How do you know when a RAF aircraft is going to pass an area... is there a site I should visit? i would like to start up some photography of RAF aircraft but i dont know where to start?

@danGigantic it really is just down to luck on the day, planes dont fly through all the time, its a good idea to go on a day with good weather weekdays only, and you really must spend from 9;30am to 5;30pm to have a good chance to see much. defencecuts have reduced the amount of aircraft flying about. But on a nice sunny day its a pleasure sitting up there chatting with other aviation fans, even if nothing flys through.

I've just had some typhoons doing a sortie over my house, in training for the Olympics when they're based at RAF Northolt... An amazing novelty when u live in Kent. :)

@GreatBritain1916 i heard about this, hope they patrol near the south coast during the olympics.

@bigvee93 It's the compressor, you'll notice it changes in pitch with throttle and you can compare the relatively high pitch of this to the low-buzz of a commercial airliner with it's big low speed fan.

[bigvee93]

does anyone know wot the howl is it just the intake compression or just airframe design? they only seem to do it at certain speeds, never heard it at luechars so far? but they rarely pass at those speeds there

@bigtopbollocks wales mate, just google it. All will become clear

[edstrong1]

It's a shame this sort of stuff wasn't known about 15 years ago. Can u imagine the amount of traffic that would of used this route back then..Buccaneers, f111s GR1s. If only I had my EOS and head screwed on back then??

[bigtopbollocks]

does any one know where this Mach loop is!

I will have to move there!

@danGigantic If I was the RAF I wouldn't start telling potential terrorists where I was going to be flying -or, since it's obvious where - *when*. Although the 'terrorist' threat has been vastly over-hyped, let's not delude ourselves. The Met police even referred to the 'Occupy' protesters as 'terrorists' in one training briefing. Why would that be, now? Because soon, democratic rights will be abolished? Be aware... and have fun plane-spotting whilst we're still allowed! ;-)

@Wonkabar007 good exercise is good exercise, good scenery is good scenery, and good weather? A mystery!

@kingofthedammed The Viggen is similar but smaller and only one engine. You can tell by looking to the rear fuselage when these bank.

Show offs!
