South east of Bruntingthorpe at 1405 BST today, low flying VC10 in and out of the low cloud. Next seen at 1415 climbing away in a gentle right hand turn before reappearing over what I judge to be the airfield's location. Final sight at about 1425 with gear down and so probably on final descent to land.
I had heard a second aircraft's engine noise but not sighted, so it could be that there were two not one.
Very sad - but that's progress!
