Cowboys and Indians Display

Our morning walk today was much improved by watching 2 RAF Typhoons playing Cowboys and Indians with a Wildcat over North Devon this morning. The whole show lasted over half an hour and we had a ringside seat for several encounters. Thanks to all involved, nothing like the sound of freedom close at hand to improve the day.

Well, unless it had grown an over large propellor and was stuck in a permanent climb. I would say the former.

Thanks for the response. I did wonder if it was a re-run of the Spitfire versus Hunter trial during the Indonesian confrontation. Bet it was impressive all the same.
