Dont know if anyone else saw it but at approx 1pm over Goudhurst in Kent it was very low and very quick it was lovely to see . Im sure it wasnt the Typhoon Just wondering what it was and why it was there like that?

I was driving down the A20 at roughly that time yesterday when something went very low over my head and scared the bejeesus out of me, didn't actually manage to see it but probably the same aircraft.

I was lucky I was on a break and it came from behind a wood over a valley it looked amazing small like a hawk or something but it was in drab colour very low very fast think it had a twin exhaust though?

Being stationary I saw it I beleive it to be a tornado GR1 flying from a westerly direction across Sutton valence towards marden ' I don't think he should have been that low it was just after 11am the
And then around 11 50 it returned on the very same flight path back again it was fantastic the re exhaust ports on the rear were closed so the after burners weren't in use ' the noise was unbelievable I'm sure the R a F wouldnt have sanction that the only aircraft I no allowed to fly that low are the police and air ambulance . Hope this helps it was def a site that's for sure
