The two aircraft you saw coming in were not both F22's , I know because I was treated a to a low level flypast along the A30 between Hook and Blackbushe.. awesome.... lucky enough to see the F22 displaying and followed by what was I think an F18, who was acting as his wing man when I saw them over the A30.
You know what Scud, that's what i thought and said to those i was with, but they were adamant that the F22s 'travel in pairs' due to security reasons..... The F18 seemed to 'loiter' around Odiham as the F22 did it's amazing display (shades of the Mig/sukhoi displays and Anatoly Kvotchur) and then they met up again and headed north to the west of Farnborough. I was, of course, a good distance away and my monocular better suited to spotting goats on a mountainside than aircraft, but the silhouette was different to my mind and eyes. That has pleased me, the old eyeballs aren't finished yet
