An integral part of the scenery

I am off down to the Fleet Estuary for the weekend and I have to say that low flying aircraft are very much part of the attraction. Don't expect much running into the Freugh Range over a bank holiday though.

Over the years we have had amazing low level flypasts over our boats from buccaneers, lightnings, vulcans, and all the current stuff. This time last year we had a tornado break off a three ship formation to take a look at our rib, made the kids day when the pilot waved at us. Vulcan coming straight at you with the bomb doors opening still takes a lot of beating though. Can't understand why my boy wants to drive planes rather than jump out of them
