Something that looked big, grey and slow....
After checking Flightradar, I believe it was a tanker: Voyager KC3, ZZ334, from RAF Brize Norton.
I heard that a few RAF Eurofighter Typhoons will be in Finland in the near future for some cold weather testing, so that might be one reason the tanker is here.

You could refuel your F-18s from the Voyager too.  ;D
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

When there's a tanker around, I'm pretty sure Finnish F/A-18 pilots will take the chance and practice.

A septet of training aircraft twice overflew stately zen manor today.
Four Wirraways* leading three Winjeels.
A 'straya day flypast.  They headed off towards Tyabb where the Warbirds live.


*Or Harvards.  I'm sticking with Wirraways given the day.

Impressive that so many of them are still around and flyable. Well done the restorers and crews.  :thumbsup:

Grumman Albatross (I think N98TP) flew past the end of our road yesterday, heading east towards Brighton from (I think) Solent.  Second time I've seen it since moving to the Sussex Riviera.

Coooer, that's a very distinctive colour scheme on N98TP!

It'd be a REAL pain to paint on a model!  :o

Agreed, decals would be easier.

Hawker Hunter. The same T.7 from Hawker Hunter Aviation I saw so much in August.  This time it was high and fast, a bit tricky to spot.

I don't think it's nice, you laughin'. You see, my mule don't like people laughin'. He gets the crazy idea you're laughin' at him. Now if you apologize, like I know you're going to, I might convince him that you really didn't mean it.
