Yesterday, flying south over newbury approx 2pm. Later on a Hawker hunter flew northbound and a few minutes later this aircraft again. Looked like a jaguar/f1 but i don't think any of the former are still flying.

It was deffo a Hunter, but not sure what the other aircraft was.

A Hunter is displaying this year with a Canberra PR9. You might have seen that?

Probably one of the Dornier Alpha Jets operated by QuinetiQ for the Empire Test Pilots School at Boscombe Down....??

The Alpha Jet has a very similar profile to a Jag/Mirage F1 from some angles.
