Thursday 29th - Mytee 11 & 12
Re: Thursday 29th
Yes, two B2s escorted by a Hawk and two F35s came within sight of me, South of Norwich a few minutes ago. Pretty cool.
Re: Thursday 29th
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.

Thursday 29.08.2019
Here in mid-Norfolk about 60mins ago I watched a pair of B-2s at ca 10,000' flying two (possibly three) very lazy figure-of-eights in an east-west pattern, encircling East Dereham & Swaffham.
I was a bit slow with the first pass which was directly overhead heading East towards Norwich (assumed it was just the usual LN F-15s until I opened my eyes)
Couldn't believe it when they came back a second time (nearly missed them completely, again)
And then watched them slowly turning back probably 4-5 miles short of Marham (i.e. overhead Swaffham), before passing south of me and turning further south towards Mildenhall/Lakenheath.
Apologies if this report is somewhat vague, but my spotting days were 40 years ago, and AFAIK these are the first B-2s I've ever seen. (I don't get out much.... )

Re: Thursday 29th
Welllll if they'd been a bit nearer, or I had an even bigger lens. But it was good to see....

Re: Thursday 29th - Mytee 11 & 12
Anyone know where they are now?
Re: Thursday 29th
They were over North of the town - Parklands - Spinney Hill. They returned via this route yesterday - quite low and a little bit further North than usual military traffic..red leader wrote: ↑Thu Aug 29, 2019 12:35 pmThey must have been incredibly quiet as I'm in Northampton and heard nothing!
Re: Thursday 29th - Mytee 11 & 12
Does anybody know if the third one has been left outside at Fairford? If I understand correctly, they have been left out each evening since arriving? Many thanks.

PIRATE10 over Mildenhall. Can anyone confirm if he is still with the B-2's and F-35's?
