Anyone live near Farnborough (UK) see/hear any jets landing in last 5mins?

I've lived near Woking for 2.5 years and never heard military jets over this urban area. I think they were Tornados about 4 mins apart moving quite slowly but very loud (as if they still had afterburners on)!
They looked like they were heading towards Farnborough airport, which I think is now a civil airport for business jets(?)

Answers:
Farnborough International air show next week.!!
no
I wasn't looking.

Or listening
afterburners ON and goin SLOW
You're going to hear LOTS of military jets next week. The Farnborough Air Show opens July 17. I'm heading over from the U.S., can't wait!
They could be any aircraft, They sound like military jets, but they could be Tornado's, Jaguars (like my pic) Hawks, Typhoons etc etc. The list goes on, especially as they're not necessarily British, Our allies fly over our airspace every day, they could even be F15's form the USAFE bases in the east of the country. Military jets are loud anyway, Afterburners (or reheat) can't be used over the UK, so I doubt they had those switched on. They could have been using Farnborough airport as a waypoint (a leg of a journey). They weren't necessarily landing there.

I've just read the messages above and they're right, the airshow's on soon, still, the reheat thing's still true.
