Tartans seem to be almost daily, typically north up to Telford area, across to overfly Coningsby and then towlines over the North Sea. First digit of the callsign is the day of the week (1 = Monday, 2 = Tuesday and so on) so yes, your 59 would be a Friday.
Incidentally, please explain why you were not at Lidl's on a Thursday!
