There was much excitement on the 10th floor when four military helicopters were spotted passing over Croydon heading in the direction of central London. Was something nasty afoot?
Two minutes later, a large transport aircraft followed them and, just one minute later, two fighter jets sped by.
We're not entirely sure what they were heading off to do but there are services in honour of British troops who served in Afghanistan taking place today, including one at St Paul's in central London.
Did anyone else see these aircraft?
