Thank you for that; very informative and I wasn't expecting to see military aircraft on the sequence.

I'm going to play it back via ChomeCast (extraordinarily good value if you have a computer, wifi and a spare HDMI input on your television) this evening.

Slightly weird; a BMI commercial, very random, followed by a Virgin 747 demonstrating the significant benefits of ILS.

I'm putting money on LGW for the landing.

Thanks Sealink.

If you enjoy military aviation then click on the link for some of the finest F-16C pilots in the world.

The things that stand out for me are the ground crew flight release and the deep inspirations prior to high-G stresses.

Bonus points for those that can identify the location that they are flying over.

Thanks, enjoyed that. Have you seen this version from the right side of the Atlantic? Interesting how much less whooping and hollering we do than our American cousins. Even in multi million dollar fighter jets they still can't help themselves :) :)

I bet that was amazing, standing on the ground but being above one of those things in the air. Very cool.

Is there any way of knowing when they are doing these runs or is it all top secret I wonder?

Great video, thanks for sharing. The early morning TATLs looks like scores of incoming nukes on radar :0

Terminal velocity on an ICBM is around Mach 20 (approximately 21000 km/hr) depending on the type, configuration and shielding on the warhead, and the angle of attack.

It might, just, show up on NATS but you, probably, would not see it relayed, in time, to your computer screen, if you were in the detonation zone.

For comparison, the meteor that impacted over Russia, recently, had a terminal velocity of around 48000 km/hr; I'll need to check my posting on that and edit this reply, accordingly.
