A bit pedestrian compared to some of the military aircraft spotted on here but I was inspecting a big cherry picker and got it to full height when I watched a freight version of a 747 going into Birmingham airport.

Heading over here to Cleethorpes yesterday I saw a C17 very low. Awesome beastie. Sarah got a pic of it. I will post it when she's forwarded it to me.

Re: What flew over your house today?
Did you get to see the P8 today? We had one on the range pretty much all morning, and it flew up the coast at about 2000 feet as far as Spurn Point before climbing to return to Lossiemouth...

Hi Jim.
Heard something that may have been it but anything low over Cleethorpes would have been IMC.
