Hi everyone

Whilst out on my 4 mile walk at 6pm, 3 miles from DSA, she performed three passes and came straight over the top of me each time... great to see this iconic jet back where she belongs... in the Air, Fantastic.

I was at Doncaster airport today watching from the sidelines with all of our facility. Feeling the raw of those engines as she took to the sky was great. So happy that I get to work in the same hangar its in :P

I spotted it to just to the East of Howden heading northwest then banked Northerly, sadly lost it behind trees and never saw it again as I was cycling back to Beverley on Monday. My records from my satnav tell me it was 1718 when I was in the location so I presume it was heading towards Elevington
