Dizzy Posted August 1, 2011 Report Share Posted August 1, 2011 Did anyone else just hear or see the plane that just flew over ? (It flew over mine at approx 8.20pm) I heard it first and the dog came racing in from outside ears back and a startled look on her face)... It was heading towards the direction of Liverpool airport (well I presume that's where it was going as the other planes go that way). It looked and sounded like some sort of fighter jet and I could hear it for ages. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evil Sid Posted August 2, 2011 Report Share Posted August 2, 2011 Yep made one heck of a racket. Not sure what it was but seemed to have plenty of ordinance hanging under it's wings. Passed over our house about that time and almost deafened me as I had the windows open at the time. I am on the flight path for liverpool airport so get plenty off aircraft passing over. Probably doing practice landings at the airport. the hercules was over again on saturday doing a few training runs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wingnut Posted August 2, 2011 Report Share Posted August 2, 2011 The ordinance hanging under its wings were barrells of slurry, and it had been doing a spot of muck spreading. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dizzy Posted August 2, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2011 I wonder how many people believed that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eagle Posted August 2, 2011 Report Share Posted August 2, 2011 That is exactly what it was doing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dizzy Posted August 2, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2011 Why on earth were they using a high powered jet to spread 'smellies'? It didn't appear to be dropping anything when it flew over here and we got the smell much ealier... I guess it must have been going back to the farm to reload Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evil Sid Posted August 2, 2011 Report Share Posted August 2, 2011 must have been a harrier dump jet then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dizzy Posted August 2, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2011 The problem I have now though is that maybe Eagle was joking too (so now I look like a muppet).... I shall have to google Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dizzy Posted August 2, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2011 It always amazes me what fantastic and quick witted senses of humour you lot have despite appearing to some as probably being miserable old gits half the time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
