Military planes often don't show up, there are other apps which do but only if the military want you to see them.

Whereabouts in the country are you?

betteliefsen · 12/07/2020 19:48

Meant to say it's most likely returning to Duxford or Biggin Hill

I am consumed with envy Grin

Pfft, thought it must be returning from military show. How rude not to be on flight radar!!

Buckinghamshire.

Was lovely. I miss air shows!

Our Essex 'thanks to NHS' liveried Spitfire did a tour of the local hospitals before landing at the airfield 2 miles from my house on Friday. It was massively exiting!

Surely 70yo spitfire is not counted as a military plane? Prob owned by private collection now??

It's perhaps the one that did the flypast for Vera Lynn, wasn't her funeral late last week?

I saw a Spitfire on flight radar last weekend. And I saw a Hawk.

I was quite excited.

My family (other than ds) rolled their eyes.

It's taken a while to get home then, @betteliefsen !

Idk, when was the funeral ?

They did a fly past of Brighton. A spit-fire and a hawk. Was on Friday around mid-day.

The Spitfire that did the tribute to Dame Vera Lynn was back on base around 4pm I think. It was a Battle of Britain Memorial Flight aircraft.

The one flying for the NHS tribute was a private company.
