Re: Tornado final sightings
Someone on FC said there's three more due up this afternoon. Wish people would share this stuff if they know.
Anyway, it seems routine flights might not be done with, so if you can take a punt on a day at the fence and don't mind drawing a blank, there's a sliver of hope.

Re: Tornado final sightings
ZA587 has been up this morning too.
Maybe three more flights this afternoon, like yesterday?
Don't think I'll see another one anyway. Even if my leg healed up in time, the weather looks grim.

Re: Tornado final sightings
While sat in my house just now in Quedgeley Gloucestershire, i heard the VERY unusual (for this area) sound of a approaching fast jet, i ran out into the back garden just as a Tornado streaked right over my house very low banking to the left heading southeast. Wonderful sight. Goodbye old friend
Edit, Tornado ZD716 i belive made a farewell flypast over Staverton (Gloucester airport) earlier.

Re: Tornado final sightings
Camo jet ZG752 should be working the local pattern for the next hour or so. Callsign Marham74.
Good news that it's still a flyer. Bad news is I still can't walk.
