Four jets in formation over Wolverhampton I did not see them but my other told me they were triangle shape which is about as far as her knowledge goes I am guessing typhoons lol. Any idea where from and where they were going to quite a rare sight in wolves.

Yes there was JUNGLE 41 flight which came roughly over Cottesmore and RAGE 61 flight that passed just North of Northampton...

Four F15s seen flying West over Belvoir Castle about 6.30pm.

Then had a Hercules doing a low-level flypast around the Castle about 8.30pm.

I live in Wolves (unfortunately) and F-15's are'nt a rare thing, I usually have a sighting a week if i'm quick enough and hear them going over about 3 times a week, they're always going in the same direction, I'm guessing that were in the middle of the Lakenheath to Mach Loop run.

F-15's regularly track over Wolverhampton when heading between Lakenheath & LFA 7. :smile:

I was at my Dad's workplace in Telford yesterday and at about 13.00 heard a rumbling that to me sounded like a bunch of jets transiting. Due to the low cloudbase, I didn't get an I.D., but I'm assuming that because they fly over Wolverhampton, and that Telford is near it, they might have been F-15's, but I cannot be sure.
