No doubt a lot of you will have sat and watched the Coronation last Saturday. The RAF did a flypast at the end and you will have see the helicopters flying over in the low cloud. Once the Red Arrows flew past that was the end of the RAF flypast
At least I thought it was, 20 min's later I heard a low flying Helicopter and looking out the kitchen window I watched the lead Helicopter flypast low enough to see the pilot. By the time I ran to get my iphone and bumping into my wife only to miss the Apache's just getting two as the flew away
I did get the next two and the last Apache flying over
I got the last helicopter flying past but missed one that had done a circuit. The helicopter's are based at a couple of military bases nearby
As it is Skywatch I will leave you with this shot I captured with a wild life camera
Happy Skywatch
The last one is hilarious. 😂
ReplyDeleteMade me smile
DeleteNice shots of the helicopters. I still love seeing military helicopters flying around. We have a lot from our local national guard flying around doing whatever they do. The nutjobs say that our President is trying to intimidate the local populace.
ReplyDeleteI wonder about the ammount we see
DeleteMe again, I love the last shot. I live for candid shots from my trail cam.
ReplyDeleteyou are right there
DeleteExciting to see the helicopters. That last photo is amazing!
ReplyDeleteI see them every day flying over
DeleteGreat photos! I wasn't able to watch the coronation live as it was 3 AM in my part of the world but I did see reviews afterward.
ReplyDeleteAt least you saw it
DeleteCoverage of the coronation started where I live at 5am, so I DVRd it and watched here and there over the next couple of days. I love this type of history and I would have enjoyed the helicopters, too. That bird, too! Wonderful final photo.
ReplyDeletePity the weather was no good I thing there would have been more
DeleteThat last photo is so beautiful.What kind of bird is that? You caught it at such a great moment.
ReplyDeleteSome people call them flying rats but it's a pigeon
DeleteTypical grey sky.

DeleteI've seen a large scale fly past here in 2017 with the 150th anniversary of the country being founded.
ReplyDeleteI've not seen one in a while
DeleteYour own private fly past. It was a pity the weather prevented the full flypast.
ReplyDeleteYes though we only had part of it fying back to base, The Cinooks went elsewhere
DeleteThe school I worked at was near the Imperial War Museum at Duxford and from time to time the Red Arrows flew over as they prepared for an air show,
ReplyDeleteLovely to have them flying past you :)
ReplyDeleteAll the best Jan
I have not seen the coronation, but will catch it on youtube.
