Low flying 'fighters' Lake District

[lazyitus]

Did I imagine it or is/was there a website that told you when (and where) Tornados and Jaguars and suchlike were scheduled to fly through the lake district?

Thanks for the info thus far

Great site, bleesh. Thanks.

Enjoyed a great trip up there last week and not a bad overall 'spot'.

1 x Spitfire (pretty sure) down the length of Windermere

1 x Jaguar completely sideways over our heads in Langdale

1 x Chinook about 100ft above Windermere - even did a circle round the island for a pose and then flew off

Exellent !

There are no RAF Jaguars flying anymore (well not in UK skies) so it was something else.

I didn't know that. It certainly looked like a Jag but I couldn't see it's wings with them pointing downwards directly above our heads. Don't think it was a Tornado due to the rear fin not being big enough.



Wonder what it was..

What colour was it?

Difficult to see but I think regular camouflage (green/brown). Again, not overly sure.

Looked and sounded good though.
