Thumbs up Typhoon display over my house



Between 11:25 and 11:28 we here, and around, the Knightwick area of Worcestershire (West of Worcester 5 miles) have very much enjoyed the sight and sound of a Typhoon 'maneuvering' by himself.

Most enjoyable.

Do call again.

If google is to be believed that's only four miles from a 'theatre', is this a record?

A highly classified source tells me that Typhoon's nav kit is not accurate enough to fly to N52°43’42.24” W002°59’48.23”.
