Amazing to see this morning and even more amazingly I managed to get this photo.

Wow, they really do know how to fly. Then again, so do most of the people that they just passed over.

Someone told me there’s an air show in Plymouth today so I guess they decided to do a flyover

[paulshane]

fucking woke me up though

It is interesting as I thought there was a no fly zone over the site this weekend! Caught them as I was having my morning brew outside the tent!

Over fly is OK at over 3100ft or with permission from Avon & Somerset Chief of Police. 

Anyone fancy a HALO jump into the site next year?

Well there has been fighter jets flying over from 1981 or close and each year some spokesperson has claimed ' there was no jets in the area ' - this year they did not fly over the normal route so perhaps that may happen tomorrow - looks good but each year I do worry if one had mechanical failure then it could be deadly

Was bending down putting beers in my bag so didn’t see them coming. Absolutely shit myself with the noise! ?

The speed they go if they had a failure anywhere near the festival they’d land miles away

But if the failure happens just before it the results are unthinkable

They were on their way to do a display at Salisbury for Armed Forces Day.

These scared the living daylights out of me earlier... and I'm glad they did, was great to see 

[Goldytap]

Depart Exeter at 1230 tomorrow to do a fly past at Trowbridge at 1244 so maybe they will go over again tomorrow? Salisbury after that.

It is but they’re very well trained, they’ve got a lot of space in which to land clear. No more likely than a Helicopter Crashing or a truck exploding

Yes, and I remember that at a time when the festival sponsored CND the ‘fly past’ of fighter jets was not so well received and usually accompanied by mutters of “w*nkers”.

I'm guessing stilts or human pyramid.

Mushrooms and the assistance of pixies is my guess.

Better not cross the road either, or leave the house, or get out of bed, it’s damgerous out there.
