High circuits at LHR
At weekends there appears to be an Islander or similar circling hour after hour around LHR and I would guess about 15000'. Is this surveying or anti-terrorist patrol and if so whose a/c is it.

I don't see you getting any substantive or useful reply to your question.

Therefore you are entirely free to come to your own conclusion.

I did indeed get a response that they were in all probability MOD surviellance flights that also appear to take place over Portsmouth. Rgds.

Hmmmmm......at 15000 feet you say in an Islander.

Wonder how long they can hold their breath?
