So there really isn't much hope of identifying it then!

If you know when and where you saw it ask on the F.C. forum, they will know!

I don't like asking on there, they scare me :-SS

Not surprising as you are very close to Benson, so it probably was several Merlins!

Yeah, we passed Benson just north of Wallingford. Never was close enough to see a reg number, but I got the impression it was doing exactly the same thing every 90 mins or so.

I don't care how long it takes, you will keep doing it till you get it right!!

There is a GRIpEN flying with E.T.P.S. out of Boscombe Down, but then being a local you'd know that wouldn't you!
