Looked out of the kitchen window around 4pm last night just in time to see 2 fast jets they must have taken off from Waddington and as the flew towards us turned and rolled the afterburners were clearly visible in the darkening sky 
after that they flew noisily around for 10 mins. One of the larger jets possibly one of the surveillance craft flew slowly across the sky a lot quieter.
I remember a fantastic sight a long time ago now about this time of year of 2 lightning jets taking off as they went down the runway side by side 'almost' and up they went these guys could do a vertical climb near enough and the long jet flame from the afterburners was an awesome sight.
We were stood at the end of the runway.
