Might have been a belated 9-11 tribute but the four Nanchangs CJ-6 trainers were back over Belleville, Florida joined by several other rare birds - a Pitts & Stearman/Great Lakes pair, an Enstrom or Brantly helicopter and finally a Cessna foursome (not pictured).

Now with smoke!

Agusta Westland AW109 Royal Air Force GZ100 2000 feet 16:15 BST E>W , @ West Bracknell , seem to originate from Sloane Square London area FR24 ? on Battle of Britain Day . Now BST16:36 ~ 3700 feet heading to the west country ie past Basingstoke , Salisbury.
Didn't see it, but a 737MAX G-TUMF flew from Malaga to Birmingham at FL180, crossing the Channel at almost the narrowest point. rather than the more conventional Channel Islands-IoW. Are MAXs scared of water AND thin air?

There is a fourship trail of Dutch and Belgian C-130s, something German and a French Atlas assing about at low level to the NW of Eindhoven. Anniversary?
Ah, can now see Spitfire PH-OUQ and B-25 PH-XXV as well...

Ah, landlord of my former favourite pub is an ex-Para but I no longer drink there - got too damn expensive. Think I might put A Bridge Too Far on...
