I think I must have upset the RAF :-o :-o =)) =))

Coming home our car was targeted by two Hawks, they came over us 100 feet?? maybe less \:D/ \:D/
They definitely aimed for us, we were the only car on the road, flat farm land between Martin and Woodhall, no trees, they both turned and headed for us.

Then a King air did the same thing later on near Bardney \:D/ \:D/ =))

Not that I'm complaining =)) =))

Although not as good as the Harrier a few years back :D
