Can we track the flypast in Heads up rather than here

Currently in the Millennium Bridge, not sure whether to try somewhere else

There used to be a bridge over the A12 near Kelvedon that was good for it. Now everyone in Essex turns up there so the more rural spots are better.
I've used Rolleylane Bridge over the railway at the end of New Road in Kelvedonin the past, about 30 metres beyond the bridge and you're about 600m off the centreline then, that's pretty good and no development to generate extra heat haze

Thanks, I'll remember that in future. I've headed round the back of Witham for now.

Had a Typhoon break away from the Warlord formation just before Chelmsford, made some good noise!
