They were here for the Eastbourne air show weekend yesterday as well, the Lanc flew so low over my parents house, skimmed the rooves!

Went over Crowborough as well today, apparently I missed them going over yesterday. Heard some fast jet fly over, however going so fast I didnt have time to see what it was!

Edited to add that my daughter tells me it was the Red Arrows, although I wonder if I heard the Typhoon, and missed hearing the Red Arrows.

I was playing cricket down in Pevensey on Saturday (I play for Rotherfield).

As we left our home ground the Lanc and fighters came over heading south - wonderful sound of 6 Merlins (with possibly a Griffon in there somewhere!)

However, the real treat was being able to see all the displays from Eastbourne Airshow during the game. We had a good 25 minute spell of the Arrows, followed by a Hawker Hunter in a holding pattern right over our heads. Saw something huge in the distance too, but couldn't tell what it was.

Watched a programme about the Blue Angels the other night - excellent, but couldn't help thinking there should be 10 of them!
