A good few years ago, I remember looking out of the back window and seeing 5 light aircraft fly past - no one would believe me at all especially when I said they were all in a line and it looked rather amazing!

Yesterday I was polishing the car and saw the same lot, this time only 4, but they buzzed around Childwall for a good 15 mins before disappearing off.

Only got a quick shot:

The second from the front is the largest and looks WW2 in profile.

maybe its the gerrrrmans,maybe they are a flying club practising for an event

Saw them over anfield yesterday and sometime last week. They circuled the two football grounds then flew off in to the distance, i would say southport way

Yes we heard them too.

Someone said , 'is it one of those gangster funerals where they have a plane going around with a banner saying 'goodnight lad' !! lol !!

Saw no banners. One was a biplane the rest were single wing, none looked or sounded like ww2 planes.

I'm not too hot on AC recognition, but the first looks like a Grob Tutor, the second a DeHavilland Chipmunk and the third either a DH Tigermoth or a rebuilt SE5A, all AC used by the RAF.

My wife and I saw them over Speke as we were driving at about 2pm yesterday. I pointed them out as I was just talking about Captain Black's ghost.

I saw two bi planes and two small modern planes flying around in circles on Boxing day. One bi plane was yellow with a blue tail. I thought that the second modern plane looked WWII as well with a small canopy and small flat glass panels. I got the impressing that they may have been filming by the formation they were flying.

Does anyone know if Keenair at the JL airport still flies its Boeing Stearman Biplane in it's yellow and blue scheme? Thats what its starting to sound like.

This Biplane was too quick for me, but I caught its' silhouette. Dec 30, flying North from Pier Head area.

Cheers mate, that does look like a Boeing Stearman.

They make a lovely noise, those big old radial prop jobs.

It's probably one of the many flying clubs that use RAF Woodvale as a base. I know that the University of Liverpool use Grob Tutors and I think Manchester University use them as well.
