Quoting from the BBC News:
A Tornado GR4 jet has made fly-pasts of 10 University of the Highlands and Islands (UHI) sites across Scotland in less than 60 minutes.
The flight by an RAF Lossiemouth crew was part of celebrations formally marking the creation of the university.
Starting at 12:30 the jet flew over colleges in Moray, Inverness, Argyll, Lochaber, Skye, Shetland before flying back over the Highlands to its station.
The GR4 attack aircraft can reach speeds of about 950mph.
A further fly-past over Inverness during a procession is expected later.
I was able to take a photo of the fly-past during the procession in Inverness.
The timing was almost to the second! Grateful thanks to the RAF for making this novel and symbolic contribution to our day of celebration.
