This was something that the old Warsaw Pact spent a lot of time and effort in man hours to find out not that long ago.
How curious. There is seemingly a Royal Air Force Tristar operating over the Moray Firth at the moment. ZD948, apparently. I thought they'd all made their last flights.

That's a Tornado up from Lossie with a mis-coded transponder, I believe. The reg/type data on these websites all comes from a unique code which is sent out by the a/c's transponder. If that is set wrongly, or the database used for the look up has dodgy data in it then all manner of things can appear :-)

RAF Voyager still active on QRA. Tu-95MS Bear H are active in HF Voice and Morse so likely around the periphery of the UK.

Yesterday there was a RAF Sentinal doing the most accurate race track patterns I've ever seen
Some civvy light aircraft instead of flying in a straight line, spiralled its way across country.
Does anyone know what aircraft 'Snapshot' is? It was lurking around Doncaster doing approaches.
Some nice views of an intercept from a Russian perspective: TU-95MS & Typhoon

Just tried setting the altitude to 50,000 and the only thing to show up was a NASA Global Hawk over the Gulf of Mexico.
I thought that was quite cool.

The ADS-B site is much better than FlightRadar24. You can use the filters to monitor military only:
http://global.adsbexchange.com/Virtu...r/desktop.html
Go to: Global Radar View - Menu - Options - Filters - Military - Add Filter.
