Flying low over the sea..

[HughN]

This thread made me think about the various military aircraft that follow the coast round the curve of Pevensey Bay, just over the sea and at low level. I don't know why, but they do!

I don't get a lot of warning so always manage to stop the props / rotors in the photos.

These were taken from the ground - the Apache could be heard but was hidden by the flags / flagpoles along the beach as it approached.

There you have it - all the aircraft the UK owns in a single post.

Where's the Merlin, Tornado, Tucan, Galaxy, Hawk, and others then ??

I was being sarcastic - we must be down to four airframes by now...

Out of the 4, I think we make half of one of them

"Flying low over the sea"

Reminds me of once at north coast of France, 2 Jets very low over the sea going faster than speed of sound, gone before we heard the massive roar
