    Looks like the Lake District. Their base is Conningsby, Boston, Lincs.

    I think 2.40’ish is Cad West?

    At 3.06 on Cad west vid is simply awesome from the Hawk? trainer pilot. Barrell-rolling even on the steep climb out. Mental

    Thanks, great vid but I cant helping wondering what carnage those low flights cause for farm animals. Scenery looked good though.

    I work on these!!

    You should see them do a performance takeoff!

    Edit : the display pilot has been practising all of last week! He can do some pretty amazing shit in one of these jets!

    What the frig are air defenders doing low-level. I’ve never seen the like!

    Typhoons are multi-role. They to air to air, intercept, low level bombing, high level bombing, everything. The lakes have been a low level training ground for ever. I remember sitting on a hillside in the lakes ( can’t remember which) on a school trip eating my packed lunch looking down on Tornado GR1s doing low level flying through the valley. An amazing sight.

    Just a spot of banter Scott, I used to be RAF.

    Multi-role as long as it’s from 30,000′ or above!

    I’ll bet Flt Lt Norris is ex -GR1!!

    Tomkerton that’s about right!!

    I am currently learning how to take out and refit the crew escape system so things like ejection seats and canopies! It’s pretty interesting stuff to be honest and a lot easier to work on than the likes of jags etc!

    Make sure the pins are in!

    The Jags (&Harriers) must have been hard to work to eng on, so many add-ons and bodges over their service life. Cool jet the Jag though.

    I’ve seen Typhoons flying below me along the valley from Windermere up beside Garburn Pass.

    Got Kirkstone on one side, Garburn on the other – the jets come in from Windermere, fly up the valley then pull up left (over Kirkstone). Makes one hell of a racket – sounds and looks fantastic!

    Great vid – the main sequence in the Lakes runs up Wasdale, Mosedale, Black Sail, Scarth Gap, Buttermere then north from there.
