Post RAF VC10 - low speed dash over Dorset

Anyone have any info. on a single RAF VC10 which screamed over Blandford, Dorset at 16.55 yesterday (Sat). It was flying fast at approx. 1500-2000 feet, which I assumed meant an approach to Bournemouth Airport. However, it failed to arrive! It was seen over Portsmouth/Gosport shortly after still heading East/South-East.

This is a very unusual sight anyway, but to pass close to both Bournemouth and Eastleigh airports in that manner makes it doubly interesting.
