Just seen in Rochester ( 7:15am) 7 planes go over close together line abreast, heading south almost following the a229. Too dark to make out the shape of the planes themselves but saw the contrails. Red arrows going somewhere warmer?

Not sure, did have a read of their website this morning and looks like they start small and build up to the full 9 plane formation later in the training season. There could have been more planes there this morning to be fair I only counted quickly whilst stopped at traffic lights.

TBH it would be more interesting if it turns out to not be the reds!

One of my aviation enthusiast mates has just seen 6x F-15s in formation over Wareham in Dorset. I wonder if its the same planes I saw yesterday?
