Typhoon low flying height?
Discussion
Living in Lincolnshire for the last 4 months, I have seen the Typhoon flying over my house on many occasions - normally at a pretty decent height.
About an hour or so ago I had 2 fly over my garden, at very hight speed, at what looked like around 200 feet. I have never seen them that low - it was a fantastic sight and I really wished I'd had a camera.
But at what height would they have been as I guess my 200ft may be wishful thinking?

Outside of the TTAs (Tactical Training Areas) and outside of Controlled Airspace, minimum height is 250ft MSD (Minimum Seperation Distance).
Thanks. Is there a map of TTA's or do these change as I\d love to know where they are in relation to me? I bloody nearly ducked when I saw the first one suddenly appear over the trees Roughly where are you Gary? A good place for watching stuff is here:

I'm now actually thinking they were Tornados (I discounted to start with as I've never seen them around here).

There is nothing like having the peace and solitude of a clear day in the mountains absolutely shattered by a fast jet parting your hair. I've wittered on about it before, but the Tornado that rolled over the top of Ben Arthur to pull down to the loch remains one of the coolest things I've ever seen.
