Out a walk yesterday and saw a private jet pretty low over east London
Went on flight radar and it was a jet flying from Stansted to City… does that sort of short distance flight happen a lot?
Sure glad I rinsed my tin of tomato’s to recycle it tonight! Save the environment and that!

Just had a Lancaster give me a private flypast at about 1,000 feet, just outside High Wycombe. Magnificent sight and the noise of 4 Merlins was awesome
-
I looked it up - apparently a flypast of the Rickmansworth Canal Festival (about 15 miles away). Bit random but who cares

Bit random
Northwood is only a couple of miles away. Tenuous, but easy to pay tribute to Hughenden Manor in the same flight, so a kind of twofer

Yes and RAF High Command is at High Wycombe so prob went over there as well. Reminds me I must get a pic of the Hurricane and Spitfire gate guardians

Y U No F-15?
Because Topgun is Navy and the F-15 is Air Force
-
Is Topgun Navy?
Yep. The basis of the original movie is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Navy_Strike_Fighter_Tactics_Instructor_program
The sequel is set in Naval service too, hence the F/A-18s which replaced the F-14 (and A-6) in the Navy

Same place, but it was RAF Northwood during the most recent unpleasantness with the Germans

Not sure I really appreciate this fucking helicopter right now:
