I note from FR24 that the aeroplane is currently flying around Scotland with the ident SNPSHT1. RAF sharing their political views?

They also fly around England too. Don't worry.

LOL - very amusing. Of course it is an abbreviation of the callsign SNAPSHOT 1, but how amusing!

ROC man - are you of the ROC era? If so, group and post?

Whilst watching an A400 doing circuits at East Mids yesterday evening (visual and on ADSBexchange) I also saw a couple of the RAF's Shadow aircraft orbiting over York, Stoke, Durham and maybe a couple of other cities, what would they up to?

Don't know about ROCman but I was ROC from 1964 to 1971; intially post 5/N1 then after the massive shakeup of '68, I was assigned to an SD Team at StCOC.

Someone to watch over you.
They're using RPVs out of Lydd to spot illegals crossing the Channel.

...and when spotted they send a decent boat out to help make their trip here safer. Nice
