It is indeed

At roughly 17:20 BST the Red Arrows flew over the Wallace Monument unst outside Stirling to mark the 154th birthday of the National Wallace Monument.

Cought one picture of them after they turned and headed back down the M9



Gondor

In Britain, with so many monuments, they must do that somewhere every other day!

Breakfast disturbed by the sound of two Merlins growling overhead as 2 Spitfires passed overhead heading towards Duxford

Pair of Merlin helicopters lumbered over Wooksta Towers a few days back.  The bloody racket nearly put me off my rum and coke!

The sky was full of contrails early on this morning. Made me realise just how busy the skies above S E England are, and that's without the Heathrow and Gatwick traffic which doesn't really pass this way.

You probably know all about this site  https://www.flightradar24.com/51.44,-1.39/8  Despite it having its limitations it can  usually identify a proportion of the producers of said contrails.

However, it rarely if ever enables you to  identify the noisy military blighter who hurtled over you house at about 400 feet........ one of the joys of country living!

Half a dozen T-38s out of Port Columbus/John Glenn, one or two every half hour or so.  Different callsigns on Flightaware, so not just somebody doing touch and goes.  Nice change in sound and speed from the usual commuters. 

RAF Embraer Phenom T.1 over work.

Not seen, but heard at 5:00am this morning, scores of jets coming into land at Gatwick, just as I was nodding off for a second time in my hotel   

Seen over the A49  on the way north to check up on Madame R's  mum (nearly 96)    a single glider near Shawbury and a single Boeing 757 near Manchester airport.  Apart from those two, nothing at all.

Not over my house, but it was interesting to see the Patrouille de France and Red Arrows flying in formation up the Champs-Elysees today for Charlie's State visit to France.

Seen over Thirlmere, a pair of F15s at about 1000 feet....................noisy blighters!

But not as loud as Phantoms

Nothing like a screaming Phantom at 500 feet! (That's the official story. They went much lower than that! Some folks lost radio antennae.)
