Two fast jets with drops tanks just passed really, really low over South Sheffield. Tornado’s maybe?

Does anyone know what’s going on?

No, but the Mrs just rang to say they'd made her car shake as she went up Abbeydale Rd, said they looked like small Vulcans, so maybe Typhoons, nothing showing on FR24

ADSB showed three F16s over Sheffield.

They looked to have passed south of my position.

These definitely weren’t F16’s, nor where they Typhoons.

3 x Belgium F16s over Dronfield at 600ft about 1620 is what I've been told (I'm in lovely Donny)

It’s not often that my home town gets a mention on PH

I wonder what’s been going on then? 600ft over a residential area is bloody low !

This has been in and out of Fleetlands a few times this morning, for wiper blades and screen wash no doubt… Now looks to be headed west and away.

Heliops are based at Portland that aircraft is “Damien” probably in for servicing as you suggested.

Just seen on twitter a post from lancs road police. It appears they were helping in the pursuit of a couple of idiots on electric bikes. Caught them on Daggers Hall Lane going of the picture posted.

Chinese military out of Austria

[LotusOmega375D]

Russian Il-76 heading into European airspace. I assume it’s another one of those special nuclear power station maintenance runs to Hungary.

[djc206]

Possibly Kaliningrad?

It’s nearly dodging territorial airspace.
