byeo   10 #1 Posted September 5, 2015 Anyone spot the aircraft just fly over S12 heading towards Rother Valley/M1 ? Was really low, not sure what it was, too large for a Spitfire and neither was it a Lancaster as it only had two engines. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
