I was stood in the Craddock Moor stone circle just half a mile away at the time and it flew directly overhead belching out two huge trails of smoke from its engine exhausts. Whoever has THE money shot of it coming into view over Stowe's is a lucky so and so. By the time I got my camcorder out it was overhead and only got if moving away. The perfect combination of modern technology v the old. Brilliant!
It was on it's way to Culdrose Air Show. The pilot was the same one that bombed Stanley Airfield in the Falklands conflict. Aparently the great noise it makes is the air being sucked into the engines not what is being expelled.
Yes you're right. Here she is...what a piece of machinery!

Privately owned now and costs £2m a year to keep her in the air. £20m so far all by public contribution and sponsorship.
