flight test?

[BigEndBob]

Unusual looking aircraft over Skegness noon on Monday 21st March.
Thought it was going to be the usual Tornado but on closer inspection was delta type aircraft. Looked more like a flying shuttlecock? Flying at several thousand headed out to sea, couple of s turns then headed back to west.
Sounded as though it had a single engine and whistled rather than roared. Reminded me of some kinda fifties DH or Bristol type.

Anybody know what it was? was it a test flight.

How about a Typhoon? Even though it is late coming into service I don't think it is a museum piece like the other aircraft you mention! Could have been one from CGY - apparently they have heaps of thrust so they don't need to roar around at high power settings. Skegness is a recovery point for CGY aircraft, though most of the Typhoons are based at Warton I believe, one might have 'escaped' to visit its future home.
