The RAF have been in town today with one of their C-17s. A few low approach/go arounds then off somewhere else.
I have a clear memory of the distinctive and plaintive whine of four RR Darts at about FL50 flying round the LBA hold for what seemed hours. If it wasn't a Viscount awaiting a visibility/cloud base improvement (quite likely) then it was probably a BA (or predecessor) training jolly. At the controls ? Perhaps Malcolm Rolph, Peter Owen or Les Rackham.
