I was just looking at ADSB wondering what an A400, C-17 and Voyager were doing at 2000' off the Norfolk Coast... of course!

Can only see the Voyager now, plus a Hawk zotting across Norfolk.


Edit: Just running in now, followed by a Tornado and the BBMF are about as well, plus a Puma and a Chinook.

Of course they did. You just couldn't see them!

You can certainly hear them though! They're the new-generation Phantom in more ways than just weightiness.

Sad but not surprised to note the absence of the F35Bs. Hope they can be turned round quicker than that if it ever becomes really really necessary.
I was also disappointed at the lack of big boeings on parade��
Where were the apaches too ??
be lucky
