MargieH 7,594 Posted August 22, 2018 Report Share Posted August 22, 2018 I think the popular chip shop is called Frenchies - always seemed to have a long queue outside. A new beach hut on Wells beach was selling for £69000. They do look nice but ..... not sure at that price! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

benjamin1945 16,118 Posted August 22, 2018 Report Share Posted August 22, 2018 Driver suspected of off loading goodies in lay-byes,,to be picked up later,, anyway these drivers were often out all night,,and i had followed him from Wellingborough Northants,,he made several drops at different stores and saw nothing untoward,,then he pulled into a lay-by,very long one and pitch black. Car pulled in behind him,driver got out and into his cab,,thought probably exchanging money......so went in field and got level and climbed a tree to see into cab........how wrong can you be they loved each other,hence me falling out of tree.......lol 3 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Wells, just like Salcombe used to be lovely resorts until the yuppies discovered them. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
letsavagoo 956 Posted August 22, 2018 Report Share Posted August 22, 2018 I was in Southwell this afternoon and the red arrows were overhead for a while. Close formation then over in pairs. One came over very low. Rattled the Windows for sure. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

That’s one place I wouldn’t want to go to, not even to see the Arrows! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

philmayfield 6,089 Posted June 2, 2020 Author Report Share Posted June 2, 2020 The Red Arrows are due to perform two display rehearsals at RAF Syerston tomorrow at 0915 and 1130. Looking at the weather forecast it’s due to turn wet with 100% cloud cover and a massive drop in temperature so I don’t know if it will go ahead. They do have an alternative low level display for such conditions so they may do that. This is becoming an annual event as there was a display last year. I have a ringside seat from home!

philmayfield 6,089 Posted June 3, 2020 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2020 Well all prepared for them this morning but they never showed up. I guess the cloud base was too low for a proper performance. I doubt they will be back as it takes time to set up the necessary arrangements. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
philmayfield 6,089 Posted June 30, 2020 Author Report Share Posted June 30, 2020 Just had a personal display at 9.35 this morning. We live directly opposite RAF Syerston and when we heard the noise we rushed to the front door to see them wizzing over our poplar trees at low level. There was a low cloud base so they performed their low-level display which was spectacular. It seemed like it was just for us! I gather they are doing a round trip over Notts and Lincs including the City Centre. I think they’re returning to Syerston at around 12 noon for another show. Just what we need to bring a bit of excitement to our dull lives! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
nonnaB 4,893 Posted June 30, 2020 Report Share Posted June 30, 2020 Wish I could see them. The only planes we have over here are two fighter jets that fly over low to say hello mum Quote Link to post Share on other sites
philmayfield 6,089 Posted June 30, 2020 Author Report Share Posted June 30, 2020 They were back again at 11.56 precisely. Once again a full display. This time the cloud base had lifted. Two displays in one day and at 500’ above the house at times. Absolutely spectacular! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beekay 5,094 Posted June 30, 2020 Report Share Posted June 30, 2020 Did you not get any photos then Phil? Or were they too fast? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
philmayfield 6,089 Posted June 30, 2020 Author Report Share Posted June 30, 2020 I got about three. It was very difficult! I went to get the camera half an hour before and got the message 'battery discharged'. As my Nikon was the only one with a proper zoom lens I hastily put it on charge and it filled up pretty quickly. Try tracking a Red Arrow across the sky. It ain't easy! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
