  5. It happened again! The 2nd time in what? A week?

    A #WWtwo #USNavyfighterplane flew over me at a height of about 30 metres!

    Last time it was all silver - this time it had what looked like a red stripe down one side.

    Last time we were driving - this time it flew over our house.

    I was on the patio de-shelling boiled eggs for a light lunch so by the time my hands were free for a photo it had gone over me.
