We live not far from Northolt airport and the last few days have been hearing planes going over all times of the day and night and just realised why after looking on the BBC website:oNow everytime we hear it we're running out to have a look, they are amazing:T

Royal Air Force Typhoon jets have arrived at an airbase in London for a large-scale Olympic security exercise.

The aircraft will be based at RAF Northolt, taking part in eight days of training over London and the home counties until 10 May, as part of operation Exercise Olympic Guardian.

It is the first time fighter jets have been stationed at the west London site since WWII



Thats the road we drive down to get to T's:eek::eek::eek::eek:

Hi magic mine and streetlights wonderful dad received the best care possible but that doesn't mean to say everyone does I personally would shout from the rooftops if I had had the treatment you did and everyone knows the NHS is in quite a bad state so I'm certainly not giving you a hard time just had to give credit where it was due this time:)

Sorry auto, wasn't anything you had said, I think it is wonderful when people have great stories to share and give credit where it's due!

That is SO cool! I guess the H&S brigade will close the road when planes are landing. It is something else totally when a tornado flies so low so close to you. I have seen it many times when driving through Wales. Sadly i didnt get to see any today

I live close to an Airbus place with a runway, and we get to see some fab stuff, spitfires doing their display stuff, red arrows taking off 3 at a time, concorde flew right over my house on its final flight, to see the A380 doing low flying is fab.

Every couple of years they have an airshow, last time we had the vulcan flying right down low over my house. I was proper scared for my windows :rotfl:

Sorry Magicowen, I didnt mean to cause any offence with my post. Sadly, people do have genuine things to complain about with the NHS, but unfortunately the bad things seem to be the only things anyone hears. We hardly ever hear good things about the NHS anymore

Can't wait I'm currently sat in a coat as I am too tight to turn the heating up, those socks would come in handy now. How much do I owe you, how many 4p for 24, I'll need my toes for this one.

lol there'll be a time when you get a glitch/misprice that I can't find and then I'll raid your stash:T:j:rotfl:

They only close the bit of road it flies over so if your in the traffic queue you get a fab view. They've put excessive sound warnings everywhere because they are so loud:eek::eek:Usually they have tall bushes and a fence all round the airport but they've taken it all down where they are taking off and landing and put tall yellow railings because apparently they were worried that the planes somehow could catch it on fire:eek:So now you can see right in to them, that is if you can get close enough, theirs people there watching them in crowds at the moment;)

We used to have these flying over where we lived when I was younger and they used to scare the heck out of me, I used to crouch down with my hands over my ears if I was outside and scream for my mum!

Seeing that picture has actually made me feel quite scared! :rotfl: Bit like seeing wind turbines, it un-nerves me for some bizzarre reason! And the severn bridge! Yes, I am odd! :rotfl:

I love wind turbines, i think they look fab

Being on a motorbike on either of the severn crossings when its windy and rainy (as it so often is around here) is pretty scary stuff :eek:
