I think I just saw a large military aircraft fly over southwest london. It was making a bell of a racket. much louder than the normal civil airlines we usually get inbound or outbound from heathrow. Anyone else see it or know anything about it?

Not a VC-10 was it? They can look rather swept/almost delta winged when viewed from certain angles, and they are rather loud.

Yeah i reckon a vc-10 is probably the most likely answer. My imagination was probably running away with me thinking it might have been a b1 lancer!
