Suddenly, all my memories of seeing various different military aircraft shooting around rushed back to me..
For reference, I live in Worcestershire, in a small town called Malvern to be exact. Malvern's particularly well known for its hills, which span out about 8 miles and have a summit of about half a kilometre - these hills are great for walking on and sightseeing (and flying fast jets over, apparently).
I've seen numerous Tornados, Wookas (Which was so low I could probably recognise the bloody pilot) and even one or two Typhoons in the past, not forgetting the Hawk which did a great job of scaring me half to death when I let the dog out in the morning. These jets are always doing low level flights over and around the hills, I could only imagine that the terrain was appropriate for training pilots up for tour? But never the less, still very impressive.
Has anyone been over or around the Worcestershire area? It would be cool to hear some points of view from the pilots.

HKCP I don't live far from you, I'm only over in Tewkesbury and most of the aircraft fly over the roundabout at the back of my gaff on their way into Wales! Tis' always a pleasure to see them
