Hmm . . . . unusual. Had a flight of five RAF aircraft fly over the house in a V formation earlier, four I presume were Typhoons but the leading one looked larger, couldn't make it out, too far away. Very rarely get military flights over here, several flightpaths from Turnhouse in the area.

Morning peeps,

Sorry for my absence on here over the last few days.

It's been a busy last few weeks with work, not that I'm complaining!

We were donated some diced beef from our neighbour yesterday.
It has to be used today so I've bunged it in the slow cooker to make a beef casserole for supper tonight

Wasn't big enough for that Jeff. It appeared larger than the other four but only marginally, could just have been the way I was seeing it

As I said its very rare to get any military air traffic over here, one of the primary flightpaths from Turnhouse passes over us.

Lancpudn · 13th August 2023, 10:31

Shopping done in quick sticks

but so much for a dry day forecast

Steady light rain now so the lawn mowing can wait.

Yum Beef casserole sounds good Jeff

I got two pizza's for tea tonight.

Lots of action this way pretty often as the Russians apparently testing our airspace quick reaction responses !

Not sure that would be the case for you as a bit of overkill in the amount of aircraft you saw.
