They were circling for more than an hour I'm sure, kept coming over our office, a pair together then one broke off and went low over our house as I got home just after 5.30pm.
Didn't I read they weren't squawking the emergency code and in fact the 'papers' got it wrong? GL is a cesspit of a local rag so wouldn't surprise me!
They have done these circuits in pairs before too a few weeks back. I just assumed they had too much fuel to land and therefore were burning it off?
