City - what was that?

[crashley]

That just went NE to SW over the City at what seemed like a fairly low altitude and left a fairly prominent exhaust trail? (I missed it, only heard and saw the trail).

Managed to catch a short vid. Looked like Hawks but not Red Arrows (in this light). Internet only references a flypast in September.

Arghh - there is a thread! It shook the building for a few seconds. Got a fantastic view from the 12th floor.

It was the red arrows displaying the Indian colours for their prime ministers visit.

[crows]

It was the Red Arrows.

[Zebrs]

So that's what it was! They flew right past the office looked like the RA but not the usual red white blue.

[Eric Mc]

Yes - they were displaying the green, white and orange of the Indian flag.
