I was sooo jealous

[nuclearsquash]

Went for a walk at Hengistbury Head yesterday (Christchurch,Dorset for those who are unfamiliar), anyway the sun was shining, and it a very pleasant stroll. So there i was strolling along with my fair lady, when i hear a jet engine, not uncommon being near Bournemouth airport, i turned to have a look at what was causing the sound, being a bit of an aircraft fan, only to see a Tornado F3 doing a low level pass at a fair few knots. It was a gorgeous sight to see, he barrelled along and shot of down toward Bournemouth, where he pulled a sharp 30degree climb up to abpout 2000 feet, did a barrell roll and shot off. I was so jealous, since i was a wee nipper all i have ever wanted to do was fly fast jets, however i was to be denied entry into the RAf due to hayfever.

Anyway i just tohught i'd share my experience with you, did anyone else see it?

Regards

Andy

Doing full afterburner passes at the festival of speed

Very impressive, and fg loud

my guess then is that he finished at said festival of speed, and thought, "ahh sod it, lets show off down the south coast". Seriously though, he couldnt have been more than 150 feet above the waves, as he disappeared behing the head. Oh for a "job" like that.

Any of the boats in the harbour get struck by the recent lightning?
