Was out on a ride with a mate last summer and as we rode in the general direction of East Midlands airport we saw this shape on the horizon coming towards us quite low.
After a few seconds thinking it through, we both looked at each other and said “Isn’t that the ….?”
It was – it had either refuelled at East Mids or done a fly past at the museum bit there. Went past us about a quarter of a mile to our left and still low, looking and sounding amazing.
Two forty-something blokes stood at the roadside waving and whooping at a bloody plane like we were 7 all over again. One of the best things I’ve ever seen, and I was brought up on RAF bases.
