Living just South of Farnham I was typing madly when a very loud whooshing noise seemed to be directly overhead. By the time I had cleared the house and barn whatever it was was nowhere to be seen. Was it a C-17? Time vaguely about 1250 on Wed 22nd July.

Thanks in advance.......

Did the DC-6 show up at all? We drove past Odiham just after 2pm and there were a number of spotters at the end of the runway... Just a Chinnok messing about.

Vulcan did a good display but it was criminal to hold it for 15-20 minutes whilst waiting for a Me109? and a dippy Hawk.. Lord knows how much the fuel cost...
