They've just come past again, slower and the heli v close. I wonder if they're filming (rather than just a fly along).

They're back again today https://globe.adsbexchange.com/?icao=406653
I heard the Spit first and from the engine note it was up to something, not just level flying, but by the time I saw it it had finished that :(

Noticed a noise as I headed for bed - surprising how much of a racket the A400-M makes at 19,000ft a mile or so away. What’s he up to?

Looks like he's trying to draw a massive cock and balls in the sky.

Perhaps…

Would have been louder at Harry’s Farm; similar distance away but much lower. He’s gone round again now too; I thought he was landing but he pulled up and came back. Bad weather night training perhaps?

Gyrating cock & balls? I wonder what pattern he's left on Harry's field :P

There’s an f15 flying about around our area, must be training exercise as it’s showing up on the tracking. Can’t see it but it’s bloody noisy, noticeably louder than any euro fighter we’ve had overhead

Aren't they loud!! They were flying very low over my house a few weeks ago. You could hear them coming for quite a way then they were doing banked turns right over the house. Awesome things!!

Had a quick look on the tracker because a couple of helicopters went over the office. Seen a few C130s go over at a couple of hundred ft recently too.

I realised I hadn't seen any aircraft coloured red on ADSB Exchange before, so clicked on the red Eurofighter out over Dogger Bank. It got to just under 52,000ft. That's high.

Funnily enough there were at least three Eurofighters going out over the North Sea in full 'burners last evening. Presumably Uncle Putin sent something our way given the Sweden announcement.

Coningsby are on nights this week so that might explain it.

The iOS app has been a bit ropey around here recently. On more than one occasion, I've heard something approaching, checked the app but it's showing the sky as clear.

Definitely not police or military or anything like that but mainly small planes and helicopters

I’m in Norfolk for the week and there’s a pair if F15E Eagles having a lot of fun overhead.

Shame they’re above the cloud cover but you can get a sense what they’re doing from the noise. High speed, lower speed passes etc
