Thanks for the interesting posts.
No I don't think so, I have a hunch that after Paris, Brussels and all the threats ISIS have been throwing around the security forces have been given the mandate and the budget to deep dive everything and anything that is even slightly out of the norm. Some guy in a strange looking plane capable of landing anywhere arriving from overseas circling over the Lake District at different altitudes at twilight when the flightplan listed Blackpool as his destination probably raised some eyebrows. Although there was a perfectly legitimate explanation you can see from their point how the optics weren't good on it and further investigation was needed.
