It happened in July. On a previous thread about drones I was roundly abused for suggesting it is only a matter of time before the holes line up.

Me109 and Stuka over Abingdon 29/8

Well, as the title says.

My brother says he saw them tootling along at around 1000 feet. He reckons there are no air shows locally at the moment so any ideas anyone?
