I'm hopeing to pop over on wednesday evening, Fingers crossed for some flying

[Spitfire88]

Fairford was very active last night

[Jodelflyer]

Hi all, I am certain I hear a fast jet depart Fairford this morning at just before 04.30, which would have been very odd, it was a westerly departure and sounded like it went south, I am also sure I hear similar late yesterday afternoon, but difficult to distinguish with all the helicopter activity at South Cerney where I live, does anyone have any clues about this?

Cheers, Jodelflyer
