While crabbing at Blakeney, a US (it had aux tanks?) C130 flew east to west and orbited Blakeney.
Walked from Kelling to Weybourne in the afternoon. The whole time a Typhoon was in a holding (CAP?) pattern at about 5-6k before departing east.
0045L Tuesday morning a helicopter, assumed to be military (nowt on the tracker for offshore or coastguard) overflew the cottage and made the windows rattle. Returned at 0130L.
I hadn't been to Norfolk for some years, and it cheered me up no end.

Sounds like I picked the wrong week! Good spots those old chap, though 5-6k is still rather high.
I remember many moons ago walking along the shingle beach at Salthouse and 4 A-10s circling and carrying out mock attacks over the slacks down to about 400ft. And three 56 sqn Phantoms in loose v-formation low over Kelling Heath. Miss those days.
