An American MC-130 'STRIX48' is presently south through County Durham at FL150 on it's way back to Mildenhall but it's track on virtual radar starts further north at Dunkeld and may well have followed the A9 south from the direction of the Great Glen or the general Highlands area ?
These STRIX flights often route , generally after dark , across Linton and into the Yorkshire Dales and the Lake District beyond often off the east coast of Scotland or up to Spadeadam but have become more frequent of late .
