I would go so far as to say that I have never seen a commercial jet over Malvern, yet today i have seen three, not particularly high either.
I appears they are "stacking" for Birmingham airport. Do they move their stacking areas depending on weather?
Make that 4
Actually no, it is the same two going round and round. Possibly around 30 minutes now, reasonably close to each other.
What does this have to do with bikes?
They aren't commercial jets
It's two military planes on an exercise
they're on there way to Leeds to Napalm the rubbish
Just been round eastnor and saw them, Maybe these???[url= http://www.raf.mod.uk/equipment/c17globermasterrecognition.cfm ]c17globemaster[/url]

It was just trundling along very sedately. Last time I saw it airborne (about 25 years ago) it was going vertical with flames coming out of the back 😛
humanbean - yep thats the one, I thought it would be strange for a commercial jet!
moe - I thought they were C5 Galaxies but having seen humanbean's pic, I agree they're C17.
Flying at c6,000 ft. I think.
Today we had 4 Sea Kings (I think?) go over and some C130s.
big manoeuvres on...
