Hi all, Iv heard a U-2 Lockheed ( spy plane) had engine problems at Fairford a few days back.
Is was back up in the air last night, ( test flight? ) but went back into RAF Fairford in Gloucestershire.
You maybe lucky to see it when it takes off again.

 

[Phil_G]

That was the best I've seen it

That was the best I've seen

Lots of people are asking about timings for tonight's spacecraft sightings. For the UK:
Space_Station, 21:20 (look west, right of the moon)
SpaceX launch, 21:33 (watch here: nasa.gov/multimedia/nas…), then about 21:50, it will be following the same path as the ISS over the UK.
