And NOTHING in the MSN or covered by TV.
Thank goodness for Brad and others who are not afraid to persue the TRUTH.

BIG PLANE IN SKY!
WE GOT PICS!
WHY NOBODY SAY NUFFINK?
Regular Kent Online experience.
Any craft above ground that's larger than a glider is 'huge', 'mammoth', 'stunning' and 'incredible' to the impressionable teens there.

Big surprise a large plane flies over Eastry, possibly on the way to an air display. When I lived in nearby Tilmanstone I can remember we had a low flying jet fighter overhead, noisy thing.
When I lived in Suffolk, we saw large planes some high some lower some going to various displays.

You very rarely ever find out why.I can remember some years ago we was working up nr Lydden spout firing range one night.A large plane,could have been passenger i dont know flew really low nr the cliff top,it banked sharply and it was so low that you could actually smell the fuel vapour,it circled round a few times n then headed out towards the sea.We never found out why and nothing was mentioned on local tv news or the Dover rag,it really looked like it was coming down.No idea what it was about.

Thinking back to Suffolk, we were high up and saw the extremely low Lancaster together with its Spitfire and Hurricane flying to or from a nearby display. I will never forget their tremendous noise or that wonderful Battle of Britain Memorial Flight.

'Guys, we've lost Hampshire!'
I suppose one takeaway is that the RAF can still at least put some creaky old craft in the air, even if it's only PR to keep excitable Kent Online readers happy.

Alas, I think the Chinooks were Dutch, possibly giving us the finger.
