One over Norfolk earlier today.
One patrolling the Black Sea at ~ 54,000ft for most of today - just making a check of the Romanian/Moldovan border now ... I wonder when it goes back to Sigonella naval air base? This one's been out about 12 hours now, but they can stay out for 30+ hours, so it could easily do another 12 hour shift back to back as it were.
There's one of the giant bulk Antonov carriers recently taken off from Leipzig and heading southwest - I wonder what THAT'S going to pick up and from where? Or maybe it was delivering something? I dread to think just what.
I was enjoying the antics of the Typhoons and Hawks earlier today, over Anglesey, Snowdonia and especially in and around Morecambe Bay. I was in Knott End a few weeks ago on a cold but clear and sunny day and there were two Hawks out there, playing around and tumbling in the air, just like hawk birds do ... pity that they, for all their beauty, are like hawks themselves - such lethal things.
Well, that's my excuse.
