Am I seeing things?

[OUAQUKGF Ops]

Just seen what looked like large Delta trailing east bound from Norfolk Coast towards Holland at 1815 local time. Looked like it might have come out of Mildenhall. Not a good view - Stealth Bomber? Pretty sure it wasn't C17. Not showing on FR24.

A large Delta? They usually fly 767s ;-)

On a more serious note, sometimes due to lighting it is difficult to see some aspects of an aircraft anyway, and there are lots if aircraft that don't show up on Flight Radar for one reason or another...Good luck!

It could have been Vulcan XH558 - I've seen it at Farnborough in 2010.

According to their website, there's nothing scheduled for it today but maybe they were airtesting something.

I think I'll have another G and T and forget about it. Probably the product of an over-active imagination!

There have been no stealth bombers (B-2s) in, or over, the UK for months and Vulcan XH558 has been grounded due to a leaking fuel tank for several weeks.

Just sounds like a trick of the light or possibly too much G & T !!!!

It was the Aurora! Off on another spy mission

You sound awfully sure about the fact that there have been no B-2s near the UK for months. Just wondering, how you can be certain of that? I can't imagine that the Pentagon makes public every aircraft movement.

The Pentagon doesn't say anyhting but if you saw some of the stuff on spotters forums you'd be amazed.

Pretty useless Stealth Bomber if it was leaving a trail

Re suggestion of Vulcan, so far as I know it's grounded with a fuel leak.
