Four-ship over London
Have any of the eagle-eyed ppruners an idea what the 4 ship was that overflew central London today at 8.30am local time. I looked up in the blue sky and there tracking from NNE to SSW were 4 parallel contrails moving a little bit faster than normal. Now I imagine that it was a military flight, unless Ryanair have started simultaneous take-offs to save on overflight charges 
They looked (to the naked eye) to be light grey in colour, but we all know about things from a distance not being what they seem
My guess is probably a transit flight from Lakenheath out to somewhere in the Middle East.

Thanks Toodle!
I can't really guess at their height but they were 'different' in shape and colour than any civvie crafts that pass overhead. It was very impressive as the sky was pretty blue at the time. Would they have enough fuel to reach Italy in one go (with perhaps external tanks ?) or was an aerial or land based refuel necessary ?
Anyhow, it brightened up my morning! Grazie Italia
