Yes
Did anyone spot the two Jets flying over Cheshire, this afternoon about 2.30 pm? Or did anyone manage to get a photo? By the time I ran in to grab a camera, they were gone. Yes I know, I should always carry one on me. :(

Didn't see them but sure heard them and I'm near Prescot. 40 miles away.
 
They will be back perhaps. R A F don't use random routes as far as I know, same paths. They fly over my place all the time but I have no decent long lenses
 
Couple of RAF Tornado GR4's stooging around about that time.

I am on the Cheshire border, near Runcorn. So possibly only about 10 miles away. :)

They were not that high, I could have probably gotten a photo with my Fuji X10. I just did not have it with me, I had no camera with me. :(

Just looked up a photo of the Tornado, yes could be. Certainly looked impressive, even scary. Not sure what was attached to the wings, I wonder if they are routinely armed?

If visible from a distance it would most likely be additional fuel "drop tanks" on the under-wing pylons.

Still impressed with the Tonka after all these years, I remember seeing the development aircraft at Farnborough and Greenham Common airshows!

Real pity I did not get a photo, will have to get a pocket camera. :)
 
I'm based in North Wales and got a fleeting glimpse of them belting up the Dee estuary, no time to get a camera out!
 
They came directly over Runcorn, looked like flight path for Liverpool airport. Apparently it was scheduled landing practice. Didn't get a picture but destruction mylivingroom. There are a couple of photos on local Facebook groups.

Will pop over to facey now, and see if I can spot anything. If there are photos of them flying over Runcorn, it was probably taken by a neighbour. lol

Welcome to the forum. :)
