"Guys, I've got to tell you about my recce flight today. Was buzzing the motorway in the Torn' today and I happened to see some 'ok ya' in his Range Rover having a w
k while driving only wearing suspenders and stockings! I managed to take a digital picture and when I zoomed in his stereo display said "Barry Manilow - Greatest Love Songs". 
Think I surprised him as he nearly cried.
What a Gheyer."

Driving down the M74 south bound the other day, in dreamworld watching the road and listening to some nice tunes. Next thing there is an almighty boom my Rangie literally shook and what looked liked less than 100ft above the ground appears a Tornado fallowing the exact line of the motorway. What kind of fking major league complete prick of an idiot does st like that. It was a busy motorway, this was so fking dangerous, I was literally shaking with fright and was tempted to dial 999 to report it.
If I had been pulling out to overtake I would really have thought I had just hit someone and could have easily lost control with a reflex reaction to pull back in. I know these guys have got to practice but this was nothing more than showboating and the fact the car shook with the downdraft indicates that it was obviously way below the legal ceiling even for these guys.
Not a great rant, just had to vent my pissed off-niss

If you want to complain to somebody, complain to the RAF and then see how far you get...

When my dad was serving his last 6 months, he was seconded to the Army Careers side of things, doing exhibitions and the like at job fayres around the North west. He took me out on one during a half term break as he was in a 4t Bedford truck towing a light field gun up towards Carlisle.
As soon as the local fast jet squadron who were in the area caught sight of us in a small army convoy somewhere near Shap, they did not leave us alone - we were buzzed at leaast a dozen times.
And yes, it was beyond frikkin' awesome!

We had the same thing on the M6 near Penrith last year. Mrs C saw one flying away from the motorway and I wondered aloud where his wing-man was; 20 seconds later he went past us at 3 to 4 leptons about 200ft above the ground. 5 minutes later he did the same thing - top stuff.

now that would be cool. As soon as the local fast jet squadron who were in the area caught sight of us in a small army convoy somewhere near Shap, they did not leave us alone - we were buzzed at leaast a dozen times.

I was driving up the M6 south of Penrith years ago and the exhaust started to blow, it go louder and louder, then the car shook, it was a Buccaneer going over us at low level, followed by his mate, very impressive but scary.
Have seen jets many times when hillwalking, one day on the Cuillin in Skye we were watching the Tornados playing 'hide and seek', diving down the glens and the zooming up over the hills, must have had strong stomachs!
Another time my mate and I were on the Aonach Eagach ridge in Glencoe, and we both swore that one of the Tornados went under the Ballachullish Bridge......

I lived in Surfers Paradise, Queensland for six months and jets flew very close to the beach on a regular basis. If you were facing away from their approach you'd only hear them as they got level with you and it would be to late! Caught me out on many occasions.
Pesky speed of sound. :shakesfist:
We'd often sit on the beach with a beer and kebab watching people jump up out of their skin as they flew past. Happy days.
