A B1 in the Fenland sky



      A giant black aeroplane in the Fenland sky watching me while I'm Pike fishing, I think it's a B1 Bomber from the United States Air Force with its wings extended rather than in the swept back position.
      The nose wheel seems to be down so maybe he's heading for Lakenheath or Mildenhall to replenish the coffee and get all the dead flies off the windscreen before heading back to sunny Texas.
      For its size it really was remarkably quiet and a very impressive looking piece of aerial hardware.
      I wonder what the 0 to 1,000mph time is?
