Saw 5 fast jets in a 'gaggle' heading east over North Yorkshire at about 1520 this afternoon. They were 'trailing' and i guess heading into Mainland Europe. Anybody out there know anything about them-what, where from,where to etc? Just intrigued to know.

Doubt it. If they were wargaming over the North Sea surely they would be operating from Coningsby, Leeming, Leuchars etc. this lot were definitely in transit from x to y(unknowns!).

On another forum a report showed 4x Typhoons c/s Razor 11-14 had been low level in the Lake District & were RTB to Coningsby at about the time you mentioned....?

Serious question: But why should anyone with internet access (and therefore be here looking at this website) not be able to access NOTAMs?

Just login here and go for it... :ok:
