You know when you are just driving along, minding your own business. Cruise-control set. Radio on. Traffic fast moving, but light. Content with the world.... Crest a hill; check mirror; adjust cruise slightly; indicate; pull-out and overtake slow moving vehicle; check mirror notice the Hercules aircraft heading for you over the hill. Indicate... WHAT !

In fact it was two Hercules transport aircraft, at very low level, chasing the Gorse Fox up the M5. As they got closer they filled the rear view mirror. (It was touch an go whether anything else would be filled, for a moment or two). Then they peeled off and headed towards Malvern.

Bodes well for an interesting couple of days.
