It has been posted but perhaps not here. There is another clip that amused me. A Ukrainian farmer towing an out-of-fuel tank with a Russian soldier running after it. :lol:

We get them occasionally over Little Hell. The last pass I am pretty certain was at or just below the 500 metre limit. I could see the pilot clearly as he passed.
Impressive.

Funnily enough, activity appears to have dropped over Norwich. Typhoons regularly play tag over the city 2-3 times a week but it’s been very quiet since last Thursday.

500m limit? I don't think they observe that when they overfly here. Although we have only had one such visitation over the winter.

One nearly took my chimney off yesterday ( nearly gave me a heart attack because I didn't hear him coming) - and our house isn't very tall. :lol: 'tis quite normal though, I can usually see the pilot when they fly over.
