Used to live at the northern end of Newark and watched the Vulcans flying into RAF Waddington. Marvellous sight. |

They were not big planes but like Shirley has said they were very loud. They were definitely the red arrows. I didn't count them but there were around 9 or 10 planes. They went over Chatham two or three times around 1.30p.m. |

There may have been nine possibly ten flying in formation at a higher speed than the jets in and out of the nearby airfield. Don't forget they are planes for military use as well as display so may be more powerful. |

Well they weren't the small ones we often see and hear going over from the private airstrip in Rochester those ones are usually one or two seater small planes |

That sounds very likely to be low flying jets and it sounds like the Red Arrows. That plane can only accommodate 2 people so are small jets but at low level will create a reasonable amount of noise. :-D |

If they were 'Streaking', then they probably were the Red Arrows ;-) |

Well only saw one streaking across the sky but heard several and the sound was deafening when they went over they sounded like big planes But then I,m not an expert on planes I,m afraid :-) |

That's what I thought as well Pat. The Red Arrow planes are relatively small. |
