Hi All,
I'm in Hermanus, I saw two Tornados low level about a week ago heading in land towards the mountains from the sea! Each were light grey with black nose!

Ive NEVER seen Fins here before, anyone know who's down here?
Are they RAF?

On another note, saw one of Mike Beachyheads Bananas today, what
a sweet sight, first time ive seen a Bucc fly since April 12 1994!
I did most of the retirement photography for the Buccaneer
so it was a lekker sight

Caught a glimpse of one of his Lightnings and the two Hunters trailing close
behind a few days ago too! A real memory lane trip this one has been!

All the best

The Luftwaffe did some training here. They left on Tuesday 21 March. We flew past them while they were refueling off the KC-135 over Table Bay on their way to Accra, I think.
