Fighter Plane over Chester - 29May
 

Hi All,

While stuck in the office tied to my desk i have just heard some type of Fighter Plane going roughly West - East, 1330 sounded like a Tornado/Jaguar style from memory!

The office is roughly 4-5 miles East of Hawarden (YEG), anyone know what it was?
It's funny because i've heard 3 going over during the last 2 weeks (roughly) and haven't heard any in the previous 10 years!

Anyone any ideas, something from RAF Valley maybe?

Cheers in advance for any leads!

Get Hawks passing over round here quite a bit

Possibly a Hawk from RAF Valley, they often do missed approaches at Liverpool, if rwy 27 was in use, I suspect it's routing from Valley to LPL would take them right over your area to turn left base and left onto finals.

Considering it's 'only' a Hawk, it's amazing the speed they do along the Mersey after the missed approach:ooh:

Clfftop, where I live looks right over liverpool bay so get a good view of the hawks. You're right, it is quite impressive!
(even if it does scare the budgie :})

Cheers WALsue and clifftop.
Didn't sound like a Hawk but being locked in an office all day can do funny things to your mind :}
I will try and be prepared for it next time!

They don't sound like little kites from here either, I live about 1/2 a mile North of the glide slope for rwy 27 abeam approx the 1/2 mile final point. It's at about this point when the Hawk rejects a landing and whacks the throttle fully open, it's at that moment I zip out the front door just in time to completely miss whatever it was!!:rolleyes::rolleyes:
