This morning about five twenty i was hanging out the washing has you do i looked up in the sky i saw a number of jets.In the space of just under an hour i counted thirteen jets all flying east i took a compass reading on my phone it was 104 east whatever that means.Do any of you think this is normal air traffic i would love to know if this was anything to do with the trouble in the east

If you load flightradar24 you can track them, it's a great site, if I hear a plane at high level I often log in its amazing what you can find!
