Seen today, all heading away from the airport;

Eurofighter Typhoon
Bristol Blenheim
Spitfire
MiG15
Vampire

And what may have been the OV-10 Bronco, but it was too far away to see clearly other than I could see a splash of orange. This is a German aircraft and is green and orange livery. It was also heading in a generally ESE direction so may have been flying back to Germany.

May well have been this one then:

North American Rockwell OV-10B Bronco of the Bronco Demo Team at the 2018 RIAT, England. This is an ex-Luftwaffe B-model originally used as an aerial gunnery target tug. The OV-10B was an OV-10A with no weapons, no sponsons, and a glass dome replacing the rear door, which was used by the tow operator.

Yes, I think so. I have watched a lot youtube footage of the Bronco, and there are quite a few of that particular aircraft.

While fighter jock is showing off, tanker crew is eating hot steaks and potatoes and washing it down with a cold Mt Dew.

And, just as important, strolling around the cabin, scratching their asses, and peeing standing up.
