Two sets of 3 planes in "V" formation. Feck me they were noisy! No smoke trails though!

Looked online and they are doing a round trip in the area; something to do with RAF Waddington. :?
All good things come to those who wait. I'm really impatient which explains a lot.

There may have been 3 waves of three, as I only saw them at the last minute. By the time I heard them and went outside I could easily have missed some! :D

I had one over my house once many years ago go my mate worked with them, he used to sit in the spare seat when they flew from place to place as he checked over the plane when ever they landed. He plotted a route back from wales one day and told me he was coming over at what time, it was ace, upside down and smoke on as low as they could be :D

It seems they were en route to displays in the Devon area this weekend and are based at Exeter for a couple of days.

They used to fly over my house in Leicestershire at one time, but I haven’t seen them for a few years.
