Yesterday about 13:30 I saw a small two engined jet airliner with what looked like a Hawk in cose formation with it heading north up the coast at Whitehaven. It was not exactly low at 2-3000ft but I thought it unusual enough to mention. Anybody see?

Bit late now I know but the airliner I saw on 2 Dec had engines under the wings. About the size of the smallest Airbus. Maybe one of those new Embrarers?

There were 2 Typhoons came low over Whitehaven yesterday AM (Wendnesday) and headed out over the Solway with the call sign Rampage, no3 sqn I think. Got them on the radio air to air.
This morning there has been a Tornado made a couple of low passes over the North end of town turning North towards Workington.

Received a reply from one of the GR4 guys from the 17th:
It was a 2v1 low level sortie. I was simulating a Mig 29 Fulcrum and trying to shoot down the 2 GR4 aircraft. They were on their way to southern Scotland to "attack" a target. The aircraft and crews are all from II(AC) Sqn, RAF Marham. Regards
