Indeed! Not only that, the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight was to fly over
a few weeks earlier and got diverted because of balloons! Of course, the 35
mile fly past should have gone over head but was nowhere to be heard. On the
Monday there was the occasional jet-going-home sound - including about a
dozen, presumably an aerobatic team going home after spending the weekend on
their nether regions. Didn't even see the usual B-1 and B-52! Finally a
Tornado went by directly over the house and below the low cloud cover,
almost like a consolation 'buzz'!

No. Which 8th was that??? I looked at the RIAT site before Kemble to see if
it was booked, and it wasn't even in the list of possibles, so I went to the
XH558 site to see that it had only just completed trial flights enabling the
application for a licence to be submitted - so it seemed out of the question
of seeing it at this years shows.
I'm going to have to go back to the site and see what you mean!
