Is there any other military stuff about because what I heard certainly didnt sound anything like a Nimrod.?
 
What I heard was very fast and sounded very much like a Tornado-might be the low cloud base distorting the sound,but it was also very low.

Thanks for clarifying it was a Nimrod.
 
Maybe it was a trail run and it will return tomorrow or Wednesday when last Nimrod MR2 flights are due.
 
I would love to see one flying again.
