Ihope they fly over again as they head to where ever they came from.
might get both in the one shot this time as the first time they were too far apart.

Another Lynx has just flown by again but it was going too fast to snap it but it did sound good.

Yes - I heard and saw it although I thought it had wheels rather than skids. It was so far away though. Getting rarer and rarer round here it seems

Unfortionatly not, I didn't get to fly in the Lynx and they didn't let us bring anything loose up with us in the Tutors.
