| Aside from the usual crop of civils (depending on wind directions I'm under approaches for both Perth Airport and Jandakot (GA) airport) so I get lots of activity, I had a RAN SH-60 Seahawk go over today. |

Yesterday, a Spitfire heading south in the morning, came back heading north in the afternoon. May have been ML409 ('Grace Spitfire') as it was camouflaged but with full invasion stripes.
Today, a Chipmunk |

This rare flying example of Catalina didn't exactly pass over my house, but where approaching the tiny landing strip of an airfield inland Sweden. It have come all the way from Duxford to cheer up the Swedes with some real stuff!

I popped up on to the south downs today to watch some of the goings on of the RAFA air show at shoram airport. (not strictly iver my house, but not far off) I saw: Hurricane (pos BOBMF), Lanc - I assume BOBMF, Mustang, 4 spitfires flying in formation and doing a mock dogfight, and I think the vulcan bomber, along with various aerobatics teams.

The Red Arrows heading south-eastish at about 11.15 in two vics and quite low. They came straight over the top of the house. Then quite a few helicopters- they seem to travel two at a time at the moment- then do daft flying around together- Army stuff.

Attended the annual Battle of Britain Service in Westminster Abbey this morning, and after the service we were treated to a flypast by a Spitfire from the BBMF and a Typhoon from No 29(R) Squadron in very close formation.
