Just seen a B52 circling low over Gloucestershire. That usually only happens if there's trouble in the Middle East. Hope Trump isn't planning to bomb anyone.

See them regularly on my way home (Worcester to Swindon) and often fly over my house on the way to Fairford and some other nearby bases

Edit: that would be the U-2 but this article may explain

Amazing that both are still in service given they were designed and built in the 1950's.

Guthers - you might enjoy this series. It's 4 (or maybe 5) episodes on planes that never flew and their development. It's got some military and some civilian.

Here is one of the episodes - they are all on YouTube:
