Fast jet over london today?
Something just went over me in Camden town. It sounded like a single Hawk ( I didn't see it). I am going to go and look at the notams. Anyone care to enlighten me?

Looked like a tornado to me. Turned north over Russell Square at low altitude at about 12:15. Very unusual. Any idea what it was doing here?
Rumours in our office are its being sent to shoot down an unresponsive airliner....total gossip of course.

I have the feeling it was heading south to north - maybe going to the RAF museum.

Heard it too... information please. Colleagues at work are looking nervous.
Can't think of any anniversaries that would warrant a flypast... Traffic still queueing up for LHR it would seem...

It was a tornado practising for the Battle of Britain fly past which takes place on the 19th (I think!!! ) over Westminster Abbey.
