I vote for military aircraft of some type.
Wales? only joking. Hope you enjoyed our part of the world.

Having spent a few years when a youth tramping around the mountains of Wales and just getting around in general, it is quite a thing to see the RAF low level. Especially when you are looking down on them. As happens when you are on some of the tops. And certainly less than 500'.


I have seen some astounding film from Red Flag of Buccaneers skimming the desert.

But yes, the RAF practice here and manage to miss everything. Usually...
