Trev Towers is a mere three miles from the village of Walters Ash, which is the home of the RAF (it was Bomber Command during WW2 and folling the amalgamation of them all it is now simply known as RAF Command). The bad news is that being so close I will no doubt be in the first wave of people vaporised when Mad Vlad realises he cannot win and pushes the red button, but on the plus side... when big occasions happen, like Trooping Ths Colour did today, the planes taking part in the flypast often exit London airspace to the West and go straight over us on their way to a second flypast over RAF command. Not sure where the cargo and tanker planes went but I ran outside in time to see the Typhoons and Hawks come over. Tally ho chaps!!

We had the annual Cosford airshow last Sunday, so we get to see some interesting planes. RAF Shawbury is also nearby and acts as a base for some of the planes and it's worth going there to catch some of them.

My late inlaws lived on Grinshill Hill, a couple of miles north of Shawbury. We were visiting the weekend Shawbury had their open day about 20 years ago and the Red Arrows used the beacon atop Grinshill as one of their lead-in points. They just missed the trees as they screamed overhead which was phenomenal!
