We had a Cessna thing fly over yesterday.
When I was a kid we used to get loads of A10’s and F4’s, then F111’s around our village’s sky. Great it was. Even saw an SR71 one time. B52’s and F15’s, F16’s and Tornadoes came later. I remember once when I was 7 or 8, at playtime at school, an A10 came low overhead – VERY low. I can still visualise it. Superb. We all enjoyed that one. Funny thing was it was years before I saw photo’s of green ones – always grey.
At 18 I used to watch jets dogfighting over the Waveney valley. Had the Catalina come over my head twice, but the weirdest ever was this:
Its summer holidays. Me and my best mate are out in the woods burning stuff and making dens, when I hear this weird droning humming buzzing noise. I look around – nothing. Climb up a bank, nothing. Look everywhere, nothing. Looking up at last, there’s a bloody airship just coming overhead, again pretty low. Thought it was aliens in a spaceship!
Which I saw in Denmark.
