I went on a local bimble this afternoon after reading the above. I entered their co-ordinates into my gps to veiw their track between Burton Latimer and Skellingthorpe as I figured they would pass close to where I would be, I was back on the ground long before they passed o/h but I'd say they were 3 or 4 miles west ofthe intended track and at 500ft. Whats the point of publishing a route and planned transit height and not adhering to them, I know they use the words 'approximate, and may change' but seems a bit ambiguous to me, Though I think the timing was about right!
