Sent from my SM-G965F using Tapatalk No. I live north of Canterbury. The flights have been coming from the direction of Faversham (north west of where we are) and we can see them for a good few miles as they drop down in the terrain before passing quite low over the house and beyond the trees at the top of the hill just to our west. They may be heading out towards Thanet and the old Manston airfield but that's long since lost any active status but maybe they are using it for training purposes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my SM-G965F using Tapatalk If anything they have been coming from that direction heading east. Had another flight at 11pm this evening which I didn't see but the same rotor sound now that I am used to. Not that much later another flight just about midnight, again heading east over the house but this time they were just at the rear of the house so just about caught a glimpse of the lights as they disappeared over the trees.

There was an Apache over Herne Bay and Canterbury at about that time. Looking at radar it's now near Maldon in Essex. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomsFocus Posted May 29, 2020 Share Posted May 29, 2020 I do like a Jersey Royal! Also like managing to walk to a local park yesterday and finding it basically empty! Maybe everyone was at the beach instead, but I have to admit it was nice to be out for a bit! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zain611 Posted May 29, 2020 Share Posted May 29, 2020 Do like going for a nice drive yesterday to put fuel in after so long after going shopping for my mum who embarrassingly got 8 packs of toilet rolls. Felt so embarrassed putting all that in the car with people looking 🤦♂️. Have to say these lights do give some attention. Was left in the sun and I could feel that the ppf was hot as it was soft but thankfully it doesn't seem it to lift. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol they were doing a good deal of toilet rolls in farm foods. Woke up around 8:30 yesterday as mum was leaving to go with dad but I said ill take her. Was a good outing for me and took my mind off stuff which I'm sure you know what. Went for a little drive to tesco as dad told me to fill up there or sainsburys. Was around 105 p/l. I don't like how the pumps work in tesco with all this digital stuff. Had to tell the lady in front of me to help. Saying that though it was a nice drive and as it was morning it was quiet and did give me an opportunity to drive spiritly. If only there was something at home I could do which makes me happy like a quiet drive. Yeah I'm liking them more and more and I'm happy that the halos still suit the look of the front. I'm thinking of removing the plastics of the exterior and getting them painted. I'm only worried about the door strips as I don't want to damage it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are in no rush, wait to redeem it and then see what comes along in the sales. The 90 window will cover you for summer and Microsoft are due to hold several online events in advance of the Series X launch later this year. They will likely have offers on games etc. that will offer some choice. This is what is on HotUKDeals at the moment if you aren't aware: https://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/xbox-store-uk-deals-with-gold-spotlight-and-publisher-sales-260520-3471504 As for using a card on the Xbox, it's all through Microsoft so it's secure. If you don't want to store a card, the alternative is to purchase Microsoft/Xbox credit then redeeming this onto your account. Credit deals popup now and again but you've then got to take into account that digital is still mostly more expensive than retail discs, though the digital sales sometimes are better. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It picks up all civilian and most military aircraft. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You might able to see the capsule fly over tonight straight after the ISS pass at about 10:15pm (ISS pass begins at around 10:10pm). 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
