Airshow entries welcome but hoping for spots 'in the wild' as it were. And 'in the wild' to mean when you were not expecting them, not sat on a hill in the mach loop smile

Mine would be a couple of years ago when I was driving down the A1 (sunshine and roof down) to Brands Hatch and had the pleasure of the Vulcan going overhead at a couple of hundred feet and climbing gently whilst I was whooping away in the car.

I was also once in a small town in Bulgaria (Yambol, if you're interested) and a jet scared the st out me. The noise grew over only a few seconds and I thought there was a good chance it was the end of the world (or at least the end of mine) before two jets went over at what I guess was just below mach speed. The noise was BRUTAL. When I had un-flinched, realised what had happened, and was just about to celebrate still being alive I noticed that nobody else had so much as batted an eyelid.
