Just did a lovely low pass over the house, it's still buzzing around (South Kesteven, Lincs).

I thought it was a hoard of motorbikes at first, shame my camera took ages to turn on

Cheers, I knew there was a reason Douglas kept coming into my mind! I'm assuming it's ZA947 out of Coningsby, then. Lovely bit of kit.

Yep, that's the mystery C-47, which was seen over Farnborough earlier.

Surely that's a bit far to be the same one?

flying at 230 mph straight-ish line - under the airliners and taling their way through controlled airspace as Military flight ... why not ...
