Heard an odd turbo-fan type sound that didn't sound quite right whilst just out cycling. Looked up and there is a US Osprey doing laps of the Moors. Flew over again a bit later. Very cool looking contraption - never seen one in the flesh before.

Anyone else spot it?

I believe there is a graduation ceremony at Linton on Ouse tomorrow RAF base and am told american planes are doing a fly past so this may explain it

Yes, saw it over my spot near Catterick Garrison ranges, thought it was maybe doing joint exercises ? Looked pretty cool, first time I've seen one in person !
