We get a few military aircraft fly over, the jets generally fly straight and relatively slow (for a jet) but every now and then, they go over a bit quick. Last time, I read the story about how a commercial aircraft had sent a wrong code on the transponder, the French escorted it until they handed it off to the RAF. Sometimes, big transports come through very low and fast, I guess for training, but with the trees all round, you might catch enough of a glimpse to know 'C130' or A400M. No time to swing a camera.

I will be rodding the flue before autumn, soot build ups can be dangerous.
