Well, actually I don't know what it was. We often get the sight and sound of an old Jet Provost flying around hereabouts and I thought that's what it was today. However, by the time it came into view it as much louder and I didn't get much of a look.
He turned around out of sight but still within earshot and as he came back I could see that the fuselage was much sleeker and with a more pointed nose than the aforementioned plane plus it had a high tailplane. Wings were straight like the Provost but slimmer and perhaps a bit longer.
Any ideas from you aero experts??

Well not yesterday, about 4 minutes ago,. I'm sat there with a Jet Provost in my left hand, a sanding stick in the right, and this noise grew and grew. Then the BBMF Lancaster made a hard right turn right in front of my window. That perked me up a bit.

Yesterday, during the high winds (60mph gusts seemed like 120mph), from the construction site opposite we had 2 cardboard boxes in full flight pass the window.
On the runway, we had two rabbits feeding on the green, 2 dogs & 5 children eating Jersey Ice cream cones.
Their will be a further bulletin issued tomorrow
