Bizjet circling Northolt area

[EGLD]

Hi

I work in Denham, and all day today on and off, we've had a small bizjet circling the area, first time round was around 8-9am, and it was still going round upon leaving tonight

Just a thousand feet or so, pretty quick, sharp turns

Any ideas what it might have been up to?

Thanks

Are you sure it was the same jet?

Northolt visual circuit?

did you dispatch an NJE doing base checks in NHT ?

There have been daytime closures at Northolt which might account for it, maybe a few seconds too early to land. so put an orbit in . Just a hunch

[potatowings]

What colour was the aircraft??

Dark blue,

could be the falcon 20's from FRA playing enemy for the airforce with their electronic countermeasure kit on it.

Why is Northolt closing at odd times anyway? I can't seem to trace a NOTAM.

Very selfish of them to shut a NetJets airport without permission.

Great for Biggin/Farnborough/Luton though!
