An unusual sight over Norfolk. B2

An unusual sight over Norfolk.  B2
The aircraft, from the United States Air Force (USAF), are understood to have flown into RAF Fairford in Gloucestershire in the early hours of Tuesday 27th August..
Referring to the B-2s, a spokesperson for the airfield told the Eastern Daily Press: "The USAF are deploying a variety of aircraft and support personnel to RAF Fairford during August and September 2019."

"While deployed to the UK the aircraft will conduct a series of training activities in Europe, these activities are long planned."

The Gloucestershire airbase is one of a handful where the planes can land, due to its long runway and specially built hangars.

Training flights with the RAF Marham-based F-35 Lightnings are the first sorties the US aircraft have flown with foreign forces.

Information from the Eastern Daily Press online newspaper.

Planes like this probably are the reason for many UFO-sightings;-) It does look a bit nightmarish....

Very good shot -- it's hard to believe that the planes are 30 years old.
