All models are equal. Some models are more equal than others.

BAC Jet Provost RAF trainer colours. Flew over my house about 4pm heading SE.

Had The Blades buzzing about - probably going to and from Dunsfold.
Also saw the Breitling Stearmans (Stearmen?) pass over.

Re: What flew over your house today?
Yesterday, a Shorts Skyvan. Never seen any of those here In Vancouver before. This morning, quiet but for the usual coterie of turboprop commuters, mostly de Havilland/Bombardier types, not sure of the actual model numbers though.....

Re: What flew over your house today?
Yes me once more! . Heard something that sounded unlike the normal light aircraft we often get. Just as I got outside the front of the house I saw the BBMF Lancaster heading away southish. Excellent sight and sound but bettered by the fact she did a wide circle back to north before buzzing low over us again. Saw her low enough and close enough to read the codes of the side and see the guns well!!. Brilliant.

A couple of Apaches flew over today. First time I've seen them around these parts.
I'm a mostly full-time modeller put a part-time poster....

Two late-model Hueys just flew, literally, right over the house, very low! Didn't have time to grab the camera unfortunately.

Sometimes, I wish I had a bionic eye that would take photos on command to record some of these fleeting sightings......maybe in 20 years.....
