Military jet fans I need your help
I just got overflown but something interesting but didn't get a good look at it as I couldn't get teh camera or binoculars quick enough.
Looked like this in back profile, bit with a slimmer fusalage. Any ideas? Given where I live, its going to be British or USA (if current service)
Cheers
Simon

Shaun, thats the pic I nicked as it was closest, but the 1 I saw had a fighter style fusalage.
Crisp. Shuttleworth, so get overflown by a lot of classics, as well as Duxford trsffic and Mildenhall / Lakenheath traffic.

None of the pics match. The engines are in the wrong place, they were mounted on the wings like the 390. 1 Engine underslung on each wing.

So, high wing, turbofans on the wings and "small" or fighter sized.
This is my closest match.

Guys, I grew up between RAF Cosford and Shawbury and spent many a holiday in Norfolk, so know most modern stuff on sight and it wasn't anything I recognise.
What your looking for is this, but with a T tail and under slung engines.

Strange, 2 planes took off from Hurn (Bournemouth) this morning which looked fairly similar to those pictured in the first few posts... possibly a little smaller though. They certainly didnt hang about and made a right racket. They were light grey in colour and unmarked.
