  A fighter jet has just flown over my area (kick in the pants off Heathrow), sort of circled around and shot off at one hell of a rate of knots toward the east! What a bloody racket it was making too!
  
  Security alert at Olympic Park maybe??

  
  It flew over us just south of Heathrow (Feltham).

  Why would they need a jet fighter to deal with that.

  Might be a QRF scramble, after all they're based in your neck of the woods at RAF Northolt. Probably some idiot in a Cessna has strayed into the 30mile exclusion zone.

  I've moved now, so a bit further away from you than I was - I'm pretty close to the Queen Mary Reservoir now.
  
  Quite unusual to see those sort of jets around here.

  Then it would be something red and Hawk shaped, not grey and Typhoon shaped.

  The American entry would be white and falcon shaped, and concentrate more on speed than actual manoeuvring.

  Or blue and Hornet shaped with Fat Albert being the 'real' star.
