A ‘Right tear up’...
I live in lovely rural Nottinghamshire , near Newark.
The closest fighter base is Conningsby.
Today , for about an hour all told , we had fast jets (relatively) low level over the town & overhead , going at it full burner etc.
Glorious to hear though I didn’t see the aircraft.
It’s happened before & always sounds as though it’s defenders doing intercepts over or nearby my town.
Can anyone enlighten me as to what’s occurring?
Am I right in thinking it would be Conningsby aircraft?
Thanks

Alternatively, near Coningsby in Woodhall Spa, one may be serenaded by the sound of two lawn mowers, out of sync, heralding the BBMF Dakota staggering round the circuit.

I am a sad reenactor & have defended Tattershall castle from the forces of nasty King Charlie 1 several times.
Cracking view of the Conningsby runway from the ramparts but the aircraft are a distraction when pouring Musket fire on the enemie , a POX on ‘em!

You might have missed a practice display by the remainder of the Red Arrows. There was a NOTAM for Syerston.

Thanks Shy’ & Tiger’, that’ll be it.
Syerston’s 5 miles away as the Hawk flies , tho’ us mere car drivers have to cross the Trent to get there.
Had I known , I would have done so to watch...
Can anyone point me at a website for Notams lest they return for another practice?
I can only guess that me thinking they were in ‘burner was the sudden increase in noise as they entered the valley this town’s in.
And , based on another thread here , I’d have gone out of my way to cuss at them for their lack of Wokeness!!
