What a great photo op!!

Welllll if they'd been a bit nearer, or I had an even bigger lens. But it was good to see....

They headed towards Attleborough (my mum saw them, lol) and I'm not sure where after that as it's quite built up. The Hawk was on ADSB but I can't see it now.

Yes, two B2s escorted by a Hawk and two F35s came within sight of me, South of Norwich a few minutes ago. Pretty cool.

We did, couple of times but not close enough together to be a firework display, we remarked it was a strange day and time for fireworks . Didn't think anything of it til I saw VirtualAstros tweets today.

Could've been quid21s curry digestions though as we are just up the road in Wymondham

Started work early so can finish in time to get there. Helps only living 30 mins away too

The chap who supposedly took the photo gave up in the end and confirmed it was a hoax photo quite a few years ago. And described how he did it. I remember that! Lol.

My dad was into photography and my mum into scanners, so a lot of my early memories are of sitting in our 1958 Landrover at various airports and bases. I grew up in Wakefield, West yorks so used to frequent 'Leeds Bradford' airport - when you used to be able to park on this mass expanse of wasteland...

The two pics I like of me, don't really look like me on a daily basis but never mind: I wont be wearing the crash helmet! http://www.finkydink.co.uk/pitsvix.jpg Or the wedding dress! http://www.finkydink.c...

There was an e3 on the config picture but seemed to have been replaced by a Tornado!

Does anyone know if there's anywhere in East Anglia worth going to get some sightings of some/ all of the formation? Got a spare day tomorrow and could have a little jaunt if there's anything worth seeing!

good shots, wheres the tanker from with no tail band? My book says 108th ARS/126th ARW Scott AFB, Illinios ANG, don't know how accurate it is! Some great shots in here, fab weather but unfortunately I got lost therefore arrived just after the Saudi plane landed :Oops: - did get it flying over my he...

Forget navigation systems, homing pigeons are where it's at!

(I didn't notice the pigeon til I got home and uploaded my pics!)
