Re: What was flying around St. Austell overnight.
Remember being awoken by something - but it didn't sound like a chinook to me... However I was half concious, so could be mistaken!

I think the bloke stood watching (bottom right of picture) may have been a little more animated if it was "real"!!!

Re: Apaches
All 3 just passed me near St Austell, heading West. Culdrose for some Deck landing practice?
Looked (and sounded) very nice indeed!

Re: Splendid.
Spendid indeed! I bet the Typhoon and Tornado "flying" will just be a landing and a take off though... better than none at all I guess!
Bring it on.
