Saw what I thought was my first F35 today, briefly, when I was at work and heard a similar sound 5-10 minutes later but unsighted. Using the playback features on ADSB and FR24 there is no sign of any jets in my area. Do the F35's show up on these sites?
Very rarely. Mode A.

Re: Boscombe Notam closed till Midday 29 Feb

Hi, this is a complete stab in the dark and pure speculation but could the increase in Crash Cat have anything to do with 2Excel's 'Excalibur' flight test bed (ex Titan Airways Boeing 757-200) that was operating out of Boscombe a few months back? Maybe it's making a return? I guess time will tell, ...

Tristram was a top bloke, I think he rejoined the RAF as a reservist Air Traffic Controller and did a tour in the Falklands. There was also at one point, a Para Major FAC, Scottish bloke, looked a bit menacin...
