Moaning auld trout from Porty downs the RAF

[wangi]

[Epykat]

Ha,ha,ha! You'd think after the first nanosecond on the first night when there was no explosion, they might guess they weren't being bombed! Surely more than one person must have complained though for them to pare it back. I was quite enjoying it too

[wangi]

It could have been just one... The RAF would have bowed to their wishes once the MoD realised the importance of their skills... Recruited to bring down the Syrian regime by letter writing campaign!

[magbagpuss]

yes truly a muppet . Every year I look out for the flyovers as I think it's quite exciting , been home every night n heard nothing . Gives Porty a bad name I feel .

[Makaveli]

I don't even like telling folk I live in Porty these days as it is an affront!!!

The amount of moaners here is quite staggering - they really do try and strangle the life out this community.

I saw them flying over the Forth, 4 in formation.
Quite impressive
Can't say I have been startled in any way, I wouldn't describe it as deafening either

I'm wondering why the complainant didn't mention the sound of the fireworks.


So a new group? Portobello Ears Stop Tornados

[Epykat]

They go right over our house every night at about 9pm but we haven't been able to see them yet!

[magbagpuss]

Well as not heard the apparent incredible noise I popped out on the balcony to listen . Two planes went over. Yes a bit noisy but nothing shuddered or juddered, perhaps our building is more solid . Went back in and asked Derek , did u hear them . Not a thing . Get a life for what 21 nights a year !

[SoupDragon]

Well that was 2 jets tonight, watched them fly over from East Lothian direction, over the sea bathers and assorted folks on the Prom
The holiday jet that went over a few minutes later seemed noisier... just saying

[Bazza]

I normally hate military displays, but watching the jets go over really is stunning. And no, nothing in the flat has wobbled even slightly.

[acprsn]

I'm glad that the jets were reduced to 1. There was far too much noise and it costs a lot. It's also best not to glorify the military.

[Grunk]

Since we are getting reduced service for now, can we have a full squadron on the last day?

Afterburners on, reach the castle then pull up and aim for the sky. would be good to see.

[acprsn]

And it's best not to glorify the military. Not glorifying war goes without saying. Read what I say - I mean it.

[fresian]

Ok, so which one of our self serving PCC was it?

[jb5370]

Four planes last night - though no afterburners or whatever they are called - but didn't see any tonight!

[SoupDragon]

Ah, so it wasn't me getting the time wrong
I was sat at the window with a cuppa for ages but didnt see anything

Saw the 4 last night

[SoupDragon]

Wow theres a piper out there on the beach somehwere
Wonder how long before he gets silenced

Instead of drums I hear dogs !

[magbagpuss]

Yep , we were on the roof , camera ready , nae planes .

[SoupDragon]

Didn't see any tonight but on the plus side saw a few bats, I was getting worried that the wet spring had reduced the numbers

[Grunk]

How about appreciating physics, chemistry and (partly) British Engineering.

And to add to what Franck says...

War is political, don't blame the Armed forces for the wars we fight.

The Men and Women of the Military should be praised for doing a difficult and dangerous Job. Some of them are not even allowed to have a drink in a pub, or get married, yet we a more than willing to send them off to far away places from which they may not return.

Remember they do this job, so we don't have to.
