Is it World War Three?

[Octet]

Hello CycleChat,

I'm off work *sniffle* as I have the flu *cough* *sniffle*
Not really sure what is happening at the moment, but I think it may be World War Three? Yesterday afternoon a fighter jet did a couple of passes over the house/street, not sure what it was but it had a single jet engine on the back. The sound was amazing, although I did only get a brief glimpse of it before it was out of view, I thought nothing of it after that.

Today, I heard two more sets of jets fly over in the morning although I didn't see them. Just now however, I saw a group of six (I think) flying in formation...

Not sure what is happening, but I have to say I am beginning to feel better

The British Military goes to war every 6 month's. It will just be the start/precurser the latest Joint Warrior exercise.

Glad to hear you are feeling better !

Oh yes, your latin is a little rusty; it should be 'cogito ergo sum' . . . there's no 'r' in cogito.

Interesting article, thanks for that!

I think it may be the Red Arrows though, and a couple of other aeroplanes. Just found their flying times:

They didn't have their iconic smoke though.
