Just back from a local walk up a big hill. 2x F-18s seen over Windermere, quite high at c.1400ft so more scenic tour than lowfly. It was raining with poor light but nice to see them. Maybe when the snow comes tomorrow the Swiss will feel a bit more at home and go a bit lower? 2x Chinooks and 2x F15s came though as well so worth the climb.

David,

I take it that was with a "Quid" callsign?

Does anyone know which pair this was? Maybe part of the "Avenger" flight.

Believe it was Sixpack31/32 which went LL. They departed Leeming about ~14:35.
