Twin turboprop (Dornier?) over Slough

A sufficiently unusual occurrence , despite being next to one of the busiest airports in the world, for me to post!

However a G-registered twin turboprop (White Dornier(??) with blue stripes Looked like it had a black radar housing under the belly) just flew north to south over Slough and the M4, over Eton, probably over east Windsor, circling east towards Heathrow, then north back over Slough / Langley, and then circling over Slough again before disappearing south.

Departures are currently off 27R so this flight may have conflicted (however living next to Heathrow means you tend to block out aircraft noise, so it may have been alternating beforehand, and I didn't notice)

Hmm, now just had a helicopter seem to transit south to north at medium level, rather than the usual low level route they'd take when transiting the departure corridor

I cant say I've seen this happen very often??
