What did I see yesterday?!
Discussion
Driving back up north on the M1 past Luton Airport yesterday, roughly 5.30pm, I did a double-take as I swear I was flown over by concorde.
But they don't fly any more, right?
So what was it? White plane, similar wing design to concorde ... no markings that i could distinguish while i was driving....I'm afraid I know nothing of planes and would really like to know what it was that I saw. It looked fantastic!

Typhoon?
IIRC the yanks have some B1's over here at the moment, could have been one of them with the wings swept back? I know they're grey but they have weird paint that can look quite light if the light catches in a certain way. Fairford isn't far from Luton from a flight point of view.

Well done gents, i think you're probably right!
I saw it from a similar angle to the shot below, so I'm sure you can understand my confusion! Especially with the engines positioned where they are...
Looked very impressive in the sky ... what are they used for?
