the excitement this bit of film brings makes me think of my spotting days at Newcastle Airport.....vulcans, jp's, buccaneers, lightings ,jaguar's, f-4's us and uk, and of course the a-10's and the ov-10's.....so sad they are all gone but thanks for this....will have to get there one day!

@whitewingsrich Wednesdays and Thursdays mate. Theyre the best days as most stuff is flying then. If its sunny and a wednesday or thursday, youre guarenteed a few through the loop. Its mostly Hawks, Hurcs, Tucanos, tiffies, Tonkas and F15s that pass through, but if youre lucky youll get something like this, or a french/ dutch ect aircraft.

Heard the one about the warthog sustaining a birdstrike? The warthog actually caught up to the bird!

sorry it's a fast movers joke.

The low flying exercises tha take place in these valleys. I was just wanted to know how frequent they are. is it kind of a 'Can't miss' (always going on, daily) or more of a on & off (needing to know when they are) Just i'd love to go up to these valley's to get some vid's & photos up there only to find out nothing was going on :'(

How cool are A-10s and their sound. Saw these breaking the rules a bit as they came through Elan Valley that day, I was training a student, they came down off the top over Claerwen and dropped down past the mutton farm and in to Garreg Ddu and flicked right on to their canopy side over the Garreg Ddu Dam and the flicked left in to Caban Coch....with vapor trails!! Awesome they were well under the normal limit, my student was shaking lol Congrats of the catch :-)

When I was based at 16 air defence regt in linconshire they used to fly around trying to avoid the rapier missile systems locking on to them, it was great to watch. We were also just a few miles from scampton so we often had the red arrows train above our house, A good posting for a plane fan. Nice film, keep up the good work.
