RAF fighters 04:16 over Sheffield

[Agent Orange]

Going back to Lincolnshire from the West /Northwest?

 

Agree, but they wouldn't be so low if returning back to base. They would have been at altitude, too high to see in the dark or to figure out what sort of aircraft they were.

They were, just not a high one

Perhaps their sat-nav packed up so they got lost and were flying low looking for land marks

A long time ago (15-16 years) we were coming back from holiday in the Canaries..my son was around 10 at the time asked if he could go and have a look in the cockpit..the crew agreed and I went with him...after a look around the captain asked if he had anything he wanted to ask.. my son asked if they knew where we were..the captain replied "Of course ...we can use this" and pulled out a road atlas from the side of his seat.....made me chuckle anyway

I have just checked our Anderson shelter.

The beds have rotted through and mice are nesting in the asbestos that has fallen out of the gas masks.

 

Hide under the bed and cellotape your eyelids down.

That made me chuckle, when i noticed the time of your post mate

 

Haha!

 

Instead of evacuating to the bunker, he logged into SF.

Top gun was on last night channel 5 are you sure the neighbours didn't have it on a bit load

they are often screaming over were I live in chesterfield they are the fighter's doing night time training or different times of night flying, and different weather conditions they often fly over the peak district and fly through the dales and round the dams, with low level flying something they have to practice. may soon be a thing of the past in the next ten year as the RAF are using more and more drones to seek and destroy enemy targets be thankfull that these top gun pilots are competent to do this type of flying

For the sake of the public below let's hope none of them have the name Goose.

I've just seen two, seemingly escorting an airliner on a westerly bearing. Right over the centre of Sheffield at 12.40pm today. Looked like and sounded like two Typhoons. A good distance between all 3 aircraft but all 3 travelling in same direction at same speed and altitude with the airliner flanked either side.

Funny that, I saw two Typhoons escorting a wide load down the M1 (Junction 33).
