Low flying jetstream, and possible hearing damage
I was out on my daily hill walk this afternoon in the Lansdown area (2 miles North of Bath). At 14.13 I was startled to find a Jetstream flying directly over me (location ST 7245 7015) at roughly 150-180 feet above hilltop level.
I had two very quick thoughts: Firstly, it was really nice to see a Jetstream, and even nicer to see one that low. Second it occurred to me that my MP3 headphones may be a tad loud, as I didn't hear it coming, and could not hear it overhead.
So on a serious note, who owns this aircraft. It was in a red white and blue livery, and had a military registration. Is this a test pilot school aircraft.
Even the brief glimpse I caught was good to see (Jetstreams always seem to remind me of happy days in the Air Training Coprs). I couldn't help wondering if the crew had found it odd to be approaching a walker at low level, and not even be noticed!
