I was actually trying to teach PPL Ex 10.2 yesterday around the Goodwood area when we paused the lesson to watch the B1 go past. I knew it was going to be around this weekend but it still suprised me when it went by. Looked awesome from 3500'.

Around 16.45 I was over Brighton returning to Shoreham when the Harrier departed to Eastbourne. It was quite an experience to see it hurtling towards us 1000' below. We were then treated to a high speed fly by when it returned after it's display.

There is a lot going on at Shoreham this weekend as some of the a/c for the Eastbourne show are basing there. Yesterday we were visited by 3 Gazelle's a Lynx and a Chinook, a pair of Tucano's and a Harrier.

Looks like I'm in for a interesting weekend.
