Strongly noisy this morning on south Camb's.

K35R followed by a 767-200 both out of Mildenhall, what's not shown are the two F15's out of Lakenheath doing a bit of loud movements around them.

All passing/banking overhead under 1,500ft before climbing out slightly. Looks like a flypast over the American cemetery at Madingley.

Yes it’s Memorial Day holiday in USA. I only realised yesterday when there was talk of postponing the Indy 500 to Monday because of the storms there yesterday. My word the organisers weaponise that event. So much military involvement. Considering how careful F1 and Liberty Media are to keep geo-politics out of their races.

Not my best pic ever, but this was just as the F15's were banking towards us to pass overhead followed by the other two.

By the time I made it outside it was too late for a better image.

Maybe spoofing cell towers to intercept messages between 'phones?
Yep.

Where I am there's a fixed wing which spends hours at night doing that type of thing. Doesn't appear in nearly all flight radar sites (except ADSB).

Yep, I heard he cancelled all his appointments for the day to stay pinned to Flightradar24 to track it.

Given all the GPS spoofing that is coming from Kaliningrad, I'm not surprised they are giving the enclave a good looking at.

Really? I doubt it, more likely spending the day writing up his latest threat of nuclear Armageddon whilst deciding which Ukrainian garden centre he's going to bomb next. But thanks for the sarcasm though byebye

They landed at Duxford at around 4pm (Thurs) - unless it's another lot?. Just happened to be there when they arrived. 3 in camoflague and 2 in 30's style airline livery. One was a genuine DC3 - all the others were C47s. One of them clipped one of the loadspeakers bolted to the crowd fence with the wing tip whilst parking.

Not sure what's happening here. Come from Prestwick, been flying up and down all morning. Looks like a single engined plane. Neighbour wonders if it's a drone.

It's on the far east edge of the Kirkcudbright MOD range

I believe it went on to Llanbedr, just stopped at Liverpool for customs purposes.

Been through the Mach Loop today.

It's D-FIPS, probably doing photographic survey/mapping work judging by the route.

You'll see it went on for much of the day. What could this be for?
