Or they’re returning to either Odiham or Benson where they’re based after working with the army up at the training grounds of Catterick and Otterburn. But yep they could be moving troops south as they’re training grounds down there as well

Speaking of RAF jets, i was once high up on the Pennine Way with a deep valley on my right hand side.
An RAF fighter jet came through the valley at a lower height than my path and the pilot gave me a wave.
A great moment.

If you’d have finished that with “……..fighter jet came through the valley at a lower height than my path and the pilot gave me a wave just before he hit a lamp post”, that would have been quality Hound!

As IDM said, not for the pilot but your post did make me chuckle Colin.
