I watched and they didn't come over the village.
Did anyone see them and get a photo?

They came right over our house in Newbold about 4.35pm.  There were five of them all flying together and I guess they probably come over Walton  and headed over the Unstone TV mast.

Sorry for the late notification, I only heard a few minutes befoe I posted. More information here: http://www.raf.mod.uk/bbmf/news/index.cfm?storyid=22EA8C8D-5056-A318-A8037D9710647A3D (http://www.raf.mod.uk/bbmf/news/index.cfm?storyid=22EA8C8D-5056-A318-A8037D9710647A3D)

They flew over at 16:38, heading north but too far away for any decent photos.
