    We heard this last night. We live under a flight corridor and not that far from Manchester & Liverpool so it’s not too unusual to hear air traffic, but this was extremely loud and lasted for about 10 minutes. Checked Flight Radar and there were two USAF refueling jets overhead, although it didn’t show any other jets.

      If you give the US basing and port rights, you’re helping them.
