What I hadn’t appreciated until today is that the route of these fighters is etched into the landscape. This photo was taken at the Newby Bridge Hotel and shows the densely wooded hillside at Finsthwaite where the trees have newly come into leaf. They are looking most impressive in their verdant greenery- except that there appears to be a grey line running through it. The grey is a line of dead trees which lie directly under the flightpath of the Tornados. The fighters may not yet have killed any innocent walkers, but they are certainly fatal to any vegetation in their path.
