Admittedly this could be anywhere, so you have to trust me this was over Loch Gorm on Islay. I believe it’s some kind of RAF jet on a training exercise, that’s all I can work out.

Update: It’s a Hawk Trainer, thanks to Chris for the information.

A slightly different view north from the old radar station at Kilchiaran on an October morning over Machir Bay with Kilchoman beach on the west coast of Islay to the one I posted earlier. The sheep still in view in the foreground. Which one do you prefer, this one or the other one?
