You might have wondered what happened to all those aircraft companies like Dornier, Messerschmidt, Focke Wulf and others who built aircraft for the Nazi war machine after the war.
The excellent Mark Felton has produced this video telling us. The resulting conglomerate might surprise you:

In the late 1980s, I visited the (then) Messerschmitt-Bölkow-Blohm (MBB) factories in Bremen and Hamburg/Finkenwerder several times to talk about a possible collaborative airliner project.
My abiding memory was a giant Blohm & Voss mural, dating from WW2, on one of the walls inside the factory.

A bit speculative but probably three military big jets very high over Peterborough, headed WNW. Nothing showing on ADSB ot Flightradar, hence the assumption they're military .
Two F15s yesterday over Peterborough, dogfight simulating perhaps, pulling hard manoevers way up there, one a mile or two behind the other.

There's been a Bell 206 JetRanger helicopter flying laps over York for the last few days. I'm starting to feel like Ray Liotta in Good Fellas, just without the guns and coke.
And while I was typing a Hawker Hunter has appeared.

Can helicopters potentially fly as high up as planes or do they always fly at lower altitudes?
