There have been aircraft returning to the UK from the Libya campaign.
Could be something to do with that perhaps?
 
The only excercise that I know of that is held around this time is Excercise Joint Warrior but I believe that was to have finished around 17th October.
 
There had been a bit of a fuss about this excercise as it envolved jamming GPS signals,which caused some complaints from fishing fleets etc.

Would be nice to see it if it decided to fly over BFS area during daylight hours-maybe over the weekend as weather is meant to be a bit clearer and most importantly dry.

Airborne now at 14.40pm East of Linton on Ouse headed North Westerly. If we ask nicely maybe get an overfly in the bright conditions.
