• Thank you very much | Diolch yn fawr

    All at JackArmy.net would like to thank everyone who has played a part on this site over the past 25 years whether that is through writing, contributing, moderating, posting or just visting and reading.

    Without any of you the work that has gone into the site would have been pointless and we will always be proud that we built, generated and managed a community that was such a big part of the Swansea City supporting life for so long.

    It has been a pleasure to bring to you the site for so long but the time is now right to turn the lights out for the last time but we do it both with a heavy heart and a sense of pride driven by the so many messages received since we announced the closure.

    The site will remain here for a period until we archive and mothball it for the last time later this summer but all aspects are in a read only format.

    Thank you though for all the memories

    Phil Sumbler
    Owner, jackarmy.net

just flew past my window and then hovered less than about 10 metres above the ground for about 2 minutes then flew off, came back and repeated the same manoeuvre several times, they're still there for the 5th time as I'm typing. I guess it's a training exercise but it's a bloody noisy one.

Loud noise of low aircraft in the Loughor area this afternoon.
 
Jets and helicopters over Swansea earlier.

Funny you should say that, if you look at the bottom of this pic, you can see part of a flock of about 1000 starlings who didn't seem all that bothered tbh

Lots going on in and around Pembrey airfield today so I assume it’s all part of a significant training programme.

Pretty sure I heard some jets flying over about 15 mins or so ago too.
