Actually, thats quite interesting she sat at about 8000ft over Scotland but dropped down to about 3700ft once over the border, they must have known how far up we can lob the haggises

(or it was to avoid the hills

)

The radars have been having a hell of a time keeping up.. well, FR24 has. She's been going from 3800ft to over FL300 in the space of a second or so

Poor blighters must feel well sick

Showing 2400ft now but that neck of the woods is quite flat

Thought he might have flown over Scampton but it looks like they're going straight for Coningsby. I bet they've had enough

Just reading the news on the red button, it seems the BoB Memorial flight have been grounded due to poor weather. Looks like our friend is on the deck at Coningsby now
