Canberras over Oxford
 

Good evening,
Earlier today I spotted what looked like two Canberras in formation flying due south away from Oxford.
One seemed to have a bright red tail. This was about 3.45pm today (Monday).
Does anyone have any details on these please?

Thank you all.

Martin Baker's Meteors may have been out and about today I believe.

Edit: the black one WA638, now G-JMWA, certainly passed over Oxford around the right time. The other, WL419 now G-JSMA does have a dayglo fin!

Based at nearby Chalgrove in case the OP is not aware!

I think I'm right in saying that there are no currently airworthy Canberras anywhere in the world, though I think NASA still fly a couple of WB-57s.

Of course, it was the Martin Baker Meteors! I only glimpsed them from behind for a very few seconds and for some reason I thought MB only had one Meteor, hence I went astray with my ID of them.
Checked the website, nice pictures of the two of them - one black, one red trim. Beautiful machines still going strong!

Thank you all for prompt info and best wishes to you all.

Unusual to have them both airborne at the same time; I thought they only had one pilot who was current!

Most definitely two together, one black and one with a red tail, in close formation.
Unless of course I am seeing double (but different colour schemes??)

Is there a tracker app that could confirm?

Beautiful! Thanx DaveReid.

I was at Chalgrove aerodrome yesterday 13th August as part of a visit and both Martin-Baker's Meteors were flying. They gave a polished exhibition of graceful formation flying - a wonderful sight (and sound)!

I think that there are about 3 pilots in current practice on the aircraft.
