Four engine fly over

Any one who is interested in aviation generally cannot but have notice how few four engine contrails there are these days- compared with a few years ago.

So when i do see one I always wonder who it is, mostly EK or SQ 380s and cargo 74s in my part of the world.

However yesterday one caught my eye going east to west over Camberley/Sandhurst area at 0900. It didnt look like it was ona regualr airways track like the Clacton/Biggin-Compton regulars as it was tracking well south of that. Of course the binoculars were buried under shopping, dog blankets and assorted junk in the boot so by the time I could have a look it was very tail on and rapidly receding. Checked out FR24 and nothing at all . Any one able to let me know what it might have been-I am guessing Mil as not on FR24 but I havent seen many military quad jets in this area
