We heard this last night. We live under a flight corridor and not that far from Manchester & Liverpool so it's not too unusual to hear air traffic, but this was extremely loud and lasted for about 10 minutes. Checked Flight Radar and there were two USAF refueling jets overhead, although it didn't show any other jets.

Ha just imaging stealth fighter jets in combat with there flight radar on.
Not so stealthy
As long as we’re not fucking helping them.
If you give the US basing and port rights, you're helping them.
I’ve told them my back yard is off limits.

At least your nonce is being kind of punished a little. Our nonces over here in the US get to keep doing what they were doing like nothing happened.
Isn't the point that you can't see it?
Is it me or is the jet plane on the thumbnail weirdly caked up?
