Unknown fighter

Did anyone see what type of fighter did an overshoot tonight at around 7-30 8? Pilot was foreign.

Location : Oxfordshire

I'm now rather worried to hear the pilot was foreign as his bird was a Typhoon, let's just hope it was an exchange pilot... Shock

It came right OTT me near Burford sounding for all the world like a prop aircraft or small chopper and I was amazed to look up and see a Tiffie heading my way. I think it was a twin stick but it was very distant over BZN by the time I got the bins on it.

It went out for a very long finals to 26 then lifted the gear, and went out to the West on what looked pretty much runway track if not a bit to the north.

HTH,

Dave.
(please let it have been an RAF one...)
