Hey guys
I was walking in the Isle of Skye last week (for my DofE Gold award, so it wasn't easy walking :P).
On the 3rd day of the main expedition, which was last Wednesday, my team and I were walking through a valley when I heard the distinct noise of a jet further down. Then out popped a Tornado tearing down the valley! It was damned low and still on its side turning (sorry, that's not correct terminology but meh :P) so we all got a spectacular view of it while it flew right past us.
It was great fun watching the Tornado (my basic a/c reccy told me it was a GR4) fly past. I guess it was practicing low altitude flying, unless the RAF has declared war on Skye!
I was wondering which RAF station it may have come from, I know it can't be Kinloss as they have Nimrods, maybe Lossiemouth?
Still, a great view
