There back

Early morning West of the Malvern Hills, well 0900 Thurs 9th, entertained by an tail-chasing (cine weave?) session, cumulating in close range 1v1 at a respectably low altitude.

Lesson about reversal still to be learnt, but forgive me if this was a mistaken view of modern low speed scissors in a gun environment - too close for a short range missile.

Based on the wing platform, straight trailing edge, and highly swept tailplane, the aircraft were Mig 29 / variants. Also by the noise - wonderful, no stealth qualities there, as witnessed by the neighbours in nightdress and hair curlers muttering about the apple harvest.

Any squadrons visiting the U.K. at this time
