What was it over Kielder Water this afternoon

[Sausage roll]

Was at Kielder Water in Northumberland today and at about 4pm there was a jet fighter doing low passes. It looked like an RAF Tornado, but I thought all these had left service? It didn’t look to be a Typhoon or a USAF F15 - was it a Tornado or something else?

Germany and Italy still have some Tornados. Could it have been one of those sampling some different scenery?

Bit further away but there was a Typhoon around Coniston Water approx 3 ish. Did a few passes without seeing what it was then went directly overhead.

Huge Hercules type thing circling Carlisle around lunchtime too.

The Germans are over here with Tornados as part of a NATO exercise this week so was probably one of theirs

Thanks - I thought it was definitely a Tornado
