For goodness sake I must have switched off the scanner just before that.

Were they Tornados/Hawks?

Just caught sight of a single Tucano on the way home about 17.00 down wind for 25 at Aldergrove

Ah that clears that up then. I posted already about a Tucano in around 4.30 but there must have been another singleton in after 5.

Did you hear the aircraft noise or on the scanner? I thought when you mentioned jets you really meant jets!

one of the Tucanos [only saw one] just went in low behind Slieve Commedaagh and reappeared down the valley between Donard and Commedagh and out to sea .... could we be getting our own Cad West or Mach Loop ??  lol
