Flypast.
HiWe have had an unexpected flypast earlier today.
I could not find anything about it, so did not comment.
My neighbours have also seen it, so feel more confident about posting.
A WW2 bomber with a Spitfire and Hurricane following and then another with flashing lights following, all piston engined with a propeller.
Very low level and a joy to see.

Yes, but could not find anything about it on the Internet.
It was not an RAF Shawbury thing, wrong direction, more a Prees to Cosford thing.
I may be wrong, but they do not usually change direction so much.
Whatever it was, it was a joy to see.

Following from the NHS's 72nd birthday on July 5, members of the public can now nominate the names of people who offered essential support during the Covid-19 outbreak.

Re: Flypast.
We saw the spitfire pass overhead yesterday evening with NHS under the wing, doing a tour of a dozen or so hospitals from Yorkshire to Nottingham and back via Newark and Lincoln, a great sight at anytime though whatever the reason. Maybe the same thing down your way?
