Anyone have an idea what jet almost took the roof off my office. Heading North East at a ridiculously fast rate.
Re: Redruth 24/6/14 @ 17:25
Just flew over Kilkhampton near Bude very fast. Just saw a flash of the plane, no ID at all.

GR4 I believe - Marham 17.

I would have replied straight away but it's taken until now to get my account activated
Yes, it was a Tornado. Very fast at what looked like a couple of hundred feet.
It may have just been the way it looked in the light but it appeared to be dark brown ??

Thanks guys, I thought it was probably a Tornado it was really moving fast. I don't remember seeing one that fast down this way. It scared my 4 year old ( and my wife) as they weren't expecting it. We had at least 1 hawk about today which he liked seeing.

He would have been doing the site seeing tour with in LFA 3 (that's low flying area 3) .
They tend to descended low level in West Devon somewhere then route down towards lands end before heading out to sea to a set point, before turning around to head back the same way they came taking in the lovely cornish sites and / or maybe doing a missed approach at either Newquay or Culdrose as they go
Tornados, F-15s and RAF Hercules are the norm theses days.
But years ago it could be Jaguars, A10's and Swingers (there F111s for anyone that's doesn't know )and on a more regular basis than these days

I can remember year`s ago when i was in the air cadet`s going to St Mawgan back when it was an active R A F base watching F4 Phantom`s and Jaguar`s taking off, used to send shiver`s down your spine.
Re: Redruth 24/6/14 @ 17:25
The A10's used to use the Four Lanes mast as a turning point as well, we lived in Four Lanes for a couple of years and as above really gave my eldest a few shocks when he was young popping over the hill.
