I figured they'd start to disperse around Putney Bridge - I was wrong as they fanned out a mile or two short of us, but the view of the things we don't normally see at low level in Sarf Lunnun was good enough, bracketed as we were by the A400/C-17 just to the east and the P-8 and RC-135 just to the west! Wish the BBMF had been more within earshot though... All in all great stuff! Tick VG.
