Things you see in Wigan eh?'"

| been a few flying over ours all weekend.
i once went to the airshow....awesome, but gets boring after a bit.
and if anyone thinks the sound of the red arrows going over is noisy, what about the fighter jets that train around north wales?
i once went to RAF Valley in anglesey, where they are based. Theres a spot you can stand in at the end of the runway.
you can watch them accelerate along the runway coming directly at you, then at last second they take off and fly straight over your head with a deafening roar..........not for the faint hearted

| Just got back from the airshow, it was great. Last chance to see the Vulcan fly at one of those i think though unfortunately (as hogan says) as it costs about £1.5 million a year to keep it up there. A great shame imo as it is fantastic to watch at low level. Like you say, a very loud aircraft, although the Typhoon trumped it on that card. Bloody deafening that thing is and extreemely impressive to watch. Will post one or two picks from my phone when i get a chance.

I was once on the forecastle (pointy end) of HMS Richmond up in Scotland.
We were up in Loch Fyne doing some trials.
I was having a crafty fag in front of the gun so the bridge could not see me and all of a sudden the was a load ROAR!!!!!!!!!! like i have never heard before. I honesly thought it was an explosion and i hit the deck like Jon wilkin after a slap from Keith Senior. The cigarette (still in mouth) now resembled an acordian hanging out my mouth.
It was a Typoon doing very low level flying (about 200 ft so i am led to beleive) right over the top of us. It scared the be-jesus out of me i tell you.
When i stood up i noticed that everyone around (about 20 blokes) were scattered all over the shop!. The pilot obviously spotted us and thought he would have some fun.
loud is not the word for those things

| Was walking into town after the reserve game and mentioned it to the missus as it roared overhead. "What's a Vulcan?"
