Cant believe i am going to ask this but I have had a few Vino's.
Watching a rerun Dr Who with daughter and wife ( well partner) when I felt a presences. Patio doors open so I could feel something was coming from the West.
Mind snapped back 20 odd years to Mount Kent and boll*ck drops. "Wokka" I shouted and bolted for the garden.
With the family looking at me like I was mad I jumped on a patio chair and watched the Wokka pass no more than 300 yards South of my garden.
As I stood there explaining to my daughter what I was so excited about I heard it coming back. Yes, this time East to West, right over the garden. Went about a mile then turned South West.
I was in hog heaven. Now I know I am going to get slated but, what was it doing this close to Heathrow ? ( my house is about 3 miles from the runway threshold)
Civvies were coming in from the east so no conflict there but it is such an unusual occurrence that I am moved to ask on here.
As usual, flak jacket donned, be gentle :)
