I saw a strange little jet plane fly low over the south of Ware this week.
It had two separate tail sections coming from the main body/wings joined together by one wide tail fin.
I hope that description wasn't too technical?? ;-)
Looked military rather than recreational, but quite old.
Any ideas what that might be? |

| If that was the one I saw at around 4:30 it was definitely a Hurricane that went over, you can tell from the wing shape |

I sometimes wonder that our lamp posts are intact with so many people wandering about looking skywards. |

| If you have not got it, and have an iphone, you must get the "plane finder" app. It tells you exactly what plane (Passenger Jets) is flying over-head, how fast is is going, how high it is, flight number, origin and destination and it even gives a photograph of the actual plane! It's great in the garden with the kids. You can say tho them "in 1 minute a plane will come from X direction, and head for Y" It's a strange feeling predicting that a plane will fly over-head, then you hear it, and then see it! You can also input flight numbers, and follow flights that friends are on, see exactly where they are, and the predicted flight path. |

| Did anyone see the Eurofighters flying over Ware around 1.30? I assume it's the four that went to Northolt as part of the 'military buildup' to the Olympics. |
