Hello Robin

The BBMF on Saturday was Spitfire P7350 & Hurricane LF363.The Osprey was 12-0064.The Mustang was unable to take part in the Heritage Flight as the wind preventing it from getting airborne.

Thanks for that,they screamed over Cirencester one with its gear down and the other with it up.
Thought they where Rafales,only saw them for a few seconds.
Come to think of it I had them on the scanner talking about the problem.

Czech casa 0454 turned up Monday morning for about an hour. Not sure on who's behalf it was supporting as there were no other Czech aircraft.

Sitting at Butts Farm Shop Cafe(about 2 miles from the Hoseasons site), OH making a fuss over Desmond the Ginger Farm Cat. Just seen the two F22's go over, Then two what looked like F15's in close formation. Then followed by a C160 Transall.

Led to believe the F-22s are off home, C-160 departed Fairford yesterday so not sure on that one! Your F-15s could have been the pair of Polish Mig-29s that were due out today.
