    my wife is Cornish and family is mostly there too, whereabouts are you?

    Live nr Looe. Once saw 2 x F15's flying quite low along the valley which runs between Liskeard & Bodmin. Pretty cool thing to catch.

    Nice landing!

    https://www.stuff.co.nz/travel/news/121072066/watch-plane-lands-between-cars-on-canadian-highway
