Site Supporter Spider Posted July 6, 2022 Site Supporter Share Posted July 6, 2022 Was up in Lytham earlier and a Typhoon from Warton flew about 100ft above me at around a million MPH. They need to make an electric one as they're just a noise menace. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They build them there so they’re out being tested most weekdays. they fly low enough to probably give most of the residents a connery Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fridays are often "unrestricted takeoff" days where they're allowed to give it full beans and do a vertical takeoff... and be finished for the day by 12!

We used to go to a caravan very near there but that was like 25 years ago, think that Euro-Fighter was being tested at the time, the whole place used to shake, car alarms would go off. Loved it.

Whoever told you that is talking bollocks mate. They have to go vertical on Flight Acceptance tests to get as much altitude as possible incase anything goes wrong. Doesn't matter what day of the week it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
