Tornado near Cheltenham @ 1815 - 12/04/12

Post by chubsbdc » Thu Apr 12, 2012 8:56 pm

Hi all,

Saw a Tornado tonight doing tight turns over Cleeve Hill (North of Cheltenham).

Pilot must have been playing as he was flying inverted in one of the turns.

It was fitted with drop tanks etc.

After a couple of turns he headed East, RTB?

Any help with id appreciated.

I assume it was a coincidence this was about at the same time as the reported Tiffies breaking the sound barrier.

Regards.
Brian.
