I heard this today, thought it was a very loud or low inbound to STN or something unusual, went into the back garden and caught sight of it coming over Kesgrave. I couldn’t get the bino’s out quick enough, but recognised the shape. She is noticeably louder than the passenger/ cargo stuff that comes over, hence why I got a bit excited.

Where is it based?. Last time I saw one up close was in Oman back in the 70 s.

Both the Strikemaster and Jet Provost come over north Essex quite regularly. Out of North Weald I think

The jet provost used to be out of East Midlands airport. Not sure if it still is, I know it's been there a few times this year. The rr spitfire has been out doing practice near wymondham a few times recently.
