F 22's over Bedfordshire ?

I have convinced myself that a flight of 4 F22's overflew Ampthill at about 3:30 pm today, height maybe 10,000ft.

My plane recognition skills are only marginally worse than my eyesight so anyone know if I am delusional ?

Well there is an F15 buried in a field in Spalding as of around the same time today so anything is possible

There are a couple on the UK register, but 10,000ft sounds a bit high for one.

Who turned a perfectly attractive Taylorcraft into an ugly old Milkstool? (Nose wheel equipped Maules are no better!)

Ah, the military forum provided the answer. F15's flying a missing man formation after last week's accident.
