Waddington 3.30 today (6.5.08)

Popped down to RAF Waddington earlier as I live just behing it and it was a lovely day - on the offchance of seeing a sentry or something. I got rather more than I bargained for.. Was this the practice for the RAF role demonstration? 2 F3's, a GR4, Sentry, 2 x Hawk, Apache and Chinook buzzing around.

Standing at the Westerly approach to the runway in the field, 1x Tornado flat out on the deck, burners lit and wings back. A real good brown pants moment. I could see right down his jet intake as he was diving toward me, below the tree line, off down the runway like an arrow. I am now a little bit deaf and have a suntan.
