BA 747's
Don't know if I am going mad or not, but I think that have just seen two BA 747 within 10mins. of each other flying fairly low both heading north. I thought that they were no longer in service / scrapped.
To be honest they looked absolutely beautiful.

I saw it as well around 1900-1930 yesterday (Saturday) tracking westward at around 10000ft north of the M4. Thought the tail was painted solid red rather than the stripes. Piqued my interest.

Jack, all I can see today around that time were a pair of BA 787s heading up towards Pole Hill, followed by various other 787s.

I was out walking the dog about that time near Frimley Green and looked up at what I at the time thought was a B747, underside spacing and size of engines appeared more akin than A380!
