It was surprisingly quiet actually.
Friend, who is into his aviation, has posted on my Facebook page that its actually the cost of the CAA approving its airworthiness that is stopping it from flying and not the actual flights themselves.

Such a shame. So glad I have seen it a couple of times at air shows such a beast when it's in the air!

You know I have been watching the routes it's been taking the past months, they posted on FB where and when it going to be flying over....noticed it was flying over the Court Hills centre some weeks now back, thats the place up high near Wantage, I thought that would make a great photo op, so rode up kit in hand, thought I will have time for a cuppa and some cake, while ordering my cake, the bloody thing flew over, I could hear it, buy the time I got out it was too late.....Doh!
Bloody cakes fault! Lol
Would have been a great shot as it was really low over the hill there
