There's a few things I think I should clarify about this question.

1) It isn't traffic landing at Redhill that i've seen, I live in Bewbush, which, for those of you who don't know the area, is on ther far south side of Crawley. So if it's landing traffic that I saw, the bloke must have called a 15 mile long final for 01!

2) These aircraft were definitely loitering over the area. I have seen a/c orbiting while they wait for permission to overfly LGW's zone, but these guys were there for at least 15 mins +

3) The paint scheme of the aircraft looked very similar to that of Redhill aviation, or possibly Southern flight at Shoreham. Does this jog anyone's memory?

4) They were definitely inside the CTR, not above it. I could make out the colour scheme without the use of bino's.

At the end of the day, this isn't a major issue, i'm just curious as to who it is!
