F22's at Lakenheath
Discussion
I live on the inward flight path for Lakenheath and I've been enjoying watching and photographing the F22s (and the old F15s) from my back garden this week as I'm on holiday.
But something else just flew in, and I wondered if anyone can identify it?!
It looked more like a Eurofighter, but to my (untrained!) eye it looked more stumpy and short. It was a light, gloss grey colour. I'm sure it wasn't a Raptor, it was too pointy and it also didn't sound like one, they're very distinctive sounding. It looked more like one of the European fighters but I'm well out of touch with what's what, or it may have been a Eurofighter and I'm not very observant
Anyone been up there watching today and help identify it? I have my camera in the front room poised in case it comes over again, but so far it hasn't...

Think I saw one of those last night flying very low near Norwich airport, almost as if had just taken off but seemed to be going a bit slow for that but I'm not an expert telling if planes have just taken off or not!I first thought it was a Typhoon but it didn't quite click as one.
Nice video of them in the mach loop. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oCF1trDfN0A
