Mystery jets in LHR FIR

[Have briefs]

Can anyone tell me what is whizzing past my house a couple of times a week? Sounds very low, very fast and probably military. I live about 8 miles South of LHR.

Suspect it may be linked to anti-terror precautions for the Olympics??

The most puzzling thing is what's the LHR FIR?
