4 jets trailing high over cromer today

Myself and some young ladies in Cromer Norfolk very excited about some
4 fighters in formation trailing over us this morning around 0930.
Sort of coming from north east ish, prob around 30k. Left some pretty things
in the sky I was told, and agree.
Anyone know?

No doubt it'll have been F15's out of Lakenheath.

There have been exercises NOTAM'd all of last week, haven't looked this week, but could have something to do with that. I know the 22's have been taking part in ACM against the Typhoon.

4-ship of Raptors on RTB Lakers the other afternoon, whistled over Downham Market; lovely sight and sound. Make it lower boys, so I can sniff the fumes.....

They would have been chasing a UFO that appeared out of the North Sea.....

That's marvellous! Especially the supposed trace of a Typhoon which explicitly shows it to be something rather more Airbussy.

"30k over Norfolk" Apologies for the confusion. What I was meaning was: The 4 jets in question were miles to high to be going to Lakenheath, albeit heading in that general direction from North Norfolk
