Three F15s or 18s over 15 minutes ago, not fast, but loud aren't they ?
Probably headed to Mildenhall given their travel direction. Unusual to seen three, at that altitude (a few thousand feet)
A few minutes later, another two, but it could be the same ones circling. Not showing on ADSB or Freedar but np surprise there.

I can never tell 15s from 18s on the move
..

Probably F15's from Lakenheath ,get them flying over the house here in Ely quite a lot and yes they are feckin loud.

They could also have been F18's as there are quite a lot of visitors drop in at Lakenheath and Mildenhall.

Treated to a distant view (and glorious sound) of a spitfire while having lunch on the allotment.

I saw two of these (might have been three) larking around in the hills the other day.

I had to Google that to see if it was an AI generated picture...apparently not.

Might be the same I saw going over Grange Over Sands on the Wed night.

Sorry to be a killjoy, but it is indeed an AI generated picture.

That picture may be AI generated but the aircraft is real
