Tornado just letting down into Marshalls at Cambridge
Any ideas why, those of you in the know?

I've got airborne out of Cambridge in a B747-400. If that can do it surely a tonka can!

So that's what's what it was! I heard it but didn't see it standing outside Tesco on Newmarket Road. It may have been a beat-up, or a touch-n-go because it definitely went off upwind making a lot of noise.

ZA542 spotted earlier this year at Cambridge with what looks like an odd targeting pod (?) on the forward fuselage station.

Nah, take too long to get it along Newmarket Road from Marshall's. There was one of those huge gin-palaces made in Northampton on the way to launch in Ipswich docks. For non-locals, yes they do go through the middle of Cambridge, they're too high to fit under the bridges of the northern bypass aka A14.

A Harrier OTOH.....

ohhh, yes I forgot
