I think that says more about Fola than anything else, he must have a different kind of relationship with his sister.  Maybe he lives in Oxford.

The Vulcan flew low over the Melksham area today around mid morning, something was flying a few seconds before it but I was to slow to get outside to see what it was, Glad I saw the Vulcan though, well impressed.

They did a transit to Farnborough today, did the plane it was with sound like a prop plane? If so it was

If it sounded more Jet like it was this:

The Vulcan flew over Silverstone on Saturday as well, that was pretty cool.

To be honest Batch it could of been either of those but am now disappointed I didn't get outside quick enough to see what was before the Vulcan. I did see a couple of Spitfires messing about over Cribbs this weekend but not sure if they were connected to the Fairford show, probably. About a hour after that what looked like an Airbus came really low before pulling up and banking sharply away, being close to Filton perhaps they were testing one?

I'm very sure I saw the red arrows or some other formation of jets pass across Stroud earlier on. I don't know much about them so one of you lot can probably piece together what they were.

I don't know, it was a quick glance. There were about 5/6 of them, went past very quick. And before you say whoosh I see what you did there.

No idea. They had wings if that helps.

Just had a look and if it wasn't the Red Arrows it was probably the South Korean Black Eagles. Black and white in colour with splashes of Yellow. Apparently they were dismantled in Korea, flown to Manchester and rebuilt at RAF Leeming for the show.
