| Typhoons have been overhead for the last three days. I saw two on Thursday, two on Friday and one today. I dare say we'll see more over the coming weeks. |

Are we talking the modern, eurofighter or the old WW2 planes?
Incidentally a week or so back I saw an awacs jumbo jet flying low north over Ware with a two fighter escort - not seen that before. |

| Nigel saw that too, Ian - they were Typhoons, apparently. I've seen a pair of typhoons fly over recently, too. |

| The Eurofighters/Typhoons have been back and forth quite a lot today. Seen five so far during the morning and afternoon. |

| Ian, I saw that as well and it was followed a few minutes later by 4 fighters in a diamond formation. I was quite surprised. |

A couple of weeks ago it was a pair of Typhoons escorting an AWACS plane, followed shortly after by a pair of Tornados escorting a slightly smaller large plane (my descriptions). All around 17:45 and an impressive, relatively low-level flypast.
A quick google the next day found [url=http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2134801/RAF-jets-soar-Parliament-politicians-pay-tribute-servicemen-involved-campaign-topple-Gaddafi.html]this from the Daily Mail[/url] - it was a Parliament flypast paying tribute to servicemen involved in the campaign to topple Gaddafi.
Incidentally, I gather there was another flypast over Ware earlier the same day, no idea what, but of older (WW2) aircraft. Perhaps that was the diamond formation mentioned? |

Lancaster and Spitfires from the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight.
Here's a couple of not very good at all pictures of them as they flew by- just that little bit too far away in the murk!

I really don't see the fascination at gawping at a lump of defunct gravity defying WWII machinery.
You can't use it to go on holiday 'Hello Berlin Airport I'm on holiday, and I just want to land my Spitfire on the main runway OK?'
And we stopped flying over Dresden 70 years ago.
Nostalgia just isn't what it used to be and I say we should scrap the lot, melt them down and convert the metal into something useful like tiny QE II Jubilee souvenir dishes, you know the type - the ones that could hold a couple of pinches of salt.
