Also where ever it had come from it was on an appropriate route/heading to take it back home to Sweden.
Strictly speaking, the Swedish Hercs are light grey overall, but it was a sunny day so we'll let you off.
Incidentally a more detailed look at the Mode S log would suggest that SVF812 and SVF813 were less than 10 minutes apart, both at FL250 and presumably following the same route.
