O/T Plane spotters help

Postby Christies Child » Thu Mar 23, 2017 11:46 pm

Late this afternoon a couple of unusual planes flew over the bay but I haven't a clue what kind of plane they are. The only way I can describe them was that there twin propelled engines are placed above the wings on what appeared to be columns.

Anybody have a clue what kind of planes they could be :?: :?: :?:

Not sure what they are but I have seen one flying over Wasdale campsite a couple of years ago late at night. Very strange when you can only see the lights.

Could be the American V22 osprey we get them over a lot , they can operate with the propellers facing up like a helicopteror forward like a traditional plane .

This weekend gone is the worst weekend of the year. Are you a government body? So do you have money in the pot? Excellent spend it so you don't lose it. Roadworks everywhere. I assume the mod is no different
