Live in Bracknell and just heard what can only have been 2 fighter jets scorch overhead toward Heathrow I think. Didn't see them but certainly heard them.

Reason for the post is because this never ever happens round here due to the high level of Heathrow air traffic. Anyone know what they were up to?

You do have a lot of uncontrolled airspace around there. I am sure they were two jet going to Fairford, nothing to worry about.

There they go again... 9 or 10 of them in 2 waves (makes it sound like 2 jets).

Spotted them (well heard them first) flying overhead while I was parked up at Pitsford (Northants) at about 11 am today.

Always good to see.
