A question to the panel. I 'spotted' a US Coastguard G5 flying across Scotland earlier and I've seen this one sveral times over the last 2-3 years. Would anybody know why a US Coastguard aircraft would be visiting regularly various countries thousands of miles from it's remit, namely the sea-borders of the USA ?? There are enough daily US Gov (various) flights every day if it were just transference of liaison staff etc.
