Military jets over N. Herefordshire today?
Discussion
I saw those too. 2 of them. Made for quite the display while I was at work!
I couldn’t work out what they were but definitely had twin tailplanes. They sounded incredible.
I assume one headed out to the Mach loop, the other stuck around for half an hour or so.
There was a B52 circling around last week wasting fuel before landing at fairford.
A hawk was doing laps today too which was cool! Makes a change from the chinooks and C130’s.
Lots of activity this past week, not that I’m complaining as I love it.
I was in Kingsland so just down the road.

Cheers. How are the roadworks for the new roundabout 
Did you see the Ospreys earlier in the year - they were very cool! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j7PEkL5FhSA&t=...

I haven’t been down to the cross roads for a week or so but I’m not sure why it’s going to take so long to complete it. 8 weeks or something daft like that. The original diversion sent the traffic right past my house which was annoying.Did you see the Ospreys earlier in the year - they were very cool! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j7PEkL5FhSA&t=...
Yes, I did. They are a strange beast. Were quite lucky around these parts getting to see these things. I’m jealous every time a fast jet comes over. Lucky b

There was a Navy Hawk at less than 2,000 feet around North Herefordshire earlier today that I saw on Global ADSB
On flight radar it was RAF Pirate03(iirc). Sounded awesome and looked like he was having fun.towser44 said:

Looking back, pretty sure they were F-35s. The noise was something else! I couldn’t work out what they were but definitely had twin tailplanes.
Another chap at work was all excited shouting “it’s one of those eurofighters with one of those things with that shoots flames out the back!”
You’re right, it sounded absolutely epic. They can come around here as much as they want!

Could be F15E from Lakenheath... I couldn’t work out what they were but definitely had twin tailplanes. They sounded incredible.I assume one headed out to the Mach loop, the other stuck around for half an hour or so.

A couple of afternoons ago, an F35 flew straight out of Marham up to 10,000ft and down the A45 corridor. It then dropped down to very low level in Herefordshire and then back up again over Birmingham, across Leicestershire and back home. He was barely in the air for half an hour.
We heard it overhead at 10,000ft, went outside but never saw it, even with very high and light cloud. ADS-B reckoned it was doing 555kts, so not hanging around.
