Personal

Keep calm

We may live close to the Heathrow flight path, but tonight's sight was more than a little surprising. For half an hour, three jet aircraft flew low above us, circling in tight formation.

They appear to have been part of the Royal Flight, operating out of Northwood (home of the "NO" navigation hint). Why they were so low, and why they circled five or six times isn't clear. But at least next time I'll know it's nothing to be concerned about. (Which wasn't the first thing that came to mind today.)
