There’s been a lot of stratotanker activity over the last few days, I didn’t get to my phone quick enough to see the height, but one came directly overhead lower than I’ve ever seen a big jet outside of an air show or airport!

I’m no aviation expert so hard to judge, but others seem to cruise by at ~ 2500ft, so this was probably under 1000ft

Looks like they’re out and about again today.

Our house is right on the flightpath for Mildenhall (Ely) and the activity seems very variable. Sometimes you might get 10 or more coming in inside a day, other days nowt. Been up and down for ages.

Occasionally we see the Rivet Joint spy planes. That's fun.

A bit late this one, t'other day (week ) I saw a silhouette from afar against grey sky that made me Twin props mounted in near the fuselage on overhead mounted wings and a distinctly shaped nose & underside, I was sure I recognized it but couldn't remember the name
It took a while to find it because round these parts the normal google buzzwords bring up other things, but got there eventually and, as poor a view as I got, it's a spot I'm very happy to have made;

Based at IWM duxford, worth a visit if you’re near

Hell yeah - brilliant day out, even if you're not that into planes. And I do mean Day out as there's so much to see.

I'm well overdue a visit - last time I went, the American Hanger was being done up so it will be good to see the SR-71 back in it's proper home.

It's worth a visit even if you're not near. I was surprised by how small the B52 fuselage was, got to tick off the 2nd TSR-2 and add another Concorde to the list.
