Its every year at this time of the year, as it has also its counterpart in the spring time.

Russia is sending its fleet out to have a nose around, but thats just how they were in the cold war.
EXACTLY!! thank you Sol..what I was trying to say in a rather feeble way earlier, this is what the miltary and navy here - and have been doing for years, been buzzed in eth highlands by low flying planes a few times..its just one big play ground for them when this happens, only differnce now is they tell people perhaps because of their so called conservation awareness ( see link ) -
and the fact the Russians are flexing at the same time is just part of it.
Bunch of peacocks strutting around.
Just hope they dont crash into anything this time, they seem to have problems navigating around Skye, where fairy and selkie activity is at its strongest of course!
