......the Red Arrows just flew over my house at about 300 feet in perfect formation, using the rail line to navigate at a guess.

But then I am only about 20 miles from their base and the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight's base too, both near Lincoln.
The roar of 9 jet engines is spectacular, but I am of an age where the sound of six Merlin engines low over my back garden brings a lump to my throat and a tear to the eye.

Silly old sod.

Welshpool Air Show today.

I didn't go this year, but last year was _corking_ - Battle of Britain flight, Vulcan and a Eurofighter, all doing lots of silly things and showing off.
