Once you enter the Humber Triangle, you may never find the exit and leave:

This lost soul is an F15 from Mildenhall and I can still hear him flying around in circles now.

You're welcome. You're all set for the next karaoke night. :)

I just checked Flight24 again and now there's a Poseidon circling between Boston and Coningsby.

For those not aware, the Poseidon is a maritime patrol aircraft (based at Lossiemouth) used for submarine hunting. I know the Fens are low lying but I doubt whether you'll find many subs. even with a high tide.

When I was still living with my parents in Hull, the USAF flew A10 Warthogs out of Lincolnshire, you'd regularly see them around the coast between Withernsea and Hornsea as there was a shooting range there.

One of them 'buzzed' me when I was on my Suzi X5, I was riding along quite happily, clear sunny day then all of a sudden there was a roar of turbofans and the A10 passed over at what looked like 50 feet overhead. I nearly went off the road with the surprise, of course you can barely hear them when they're approaching.
