Whoops, it's formating fighters over London again!
1:05pm: Just noticed a loose formation (echelon starboard) of four fighters or other small aircraft con-trailling their way northwest across London - more Typhoons per chance? The rest of the office is agog too; makes a change from the Buses, Boeings and Met EC145s that normally fill the sky outside...
Blimey, and a second four in a (more or less) box fomation behind at 1:18pm as I type...
And a RN Sea King clattered over this morning, what a day this is!
Cheers

The fast jets over London were 6 Eagles returning to Lakenheath, with thanks to FighterControl.

A post I made here earlier today has been removed.
(Sad, I know...)
I can only assume that making a mild remark about the pedantic nature of some posters and spelling obsessives isn't allowed. Careful out there!
(I wonder if this one will vanish also?)
