And a 4-person cabin that makes a Fiat 500 look like a limo.

Maybe he's just not noticed that the throttle has slipped back to idle on one of those engines
Isn't this the one Cobham used 'for exercise this is a UAV'?
Either something suspicious was happening at Dotterel farm or the FSB is spoofing the transponder.

Or they are doing surveillance or survey work
Couple of private grass strips Octon N/S & Eddsfield E/W a few miles SE and of course RRH Staxton Wold a few miles NE but no navaids I am aware of. Looking at ADSBExchange the circuits were about 1/2 mile across at approx 500ft, flew in and out of Teeside. It showed as G-FFMV which is registered to Draken Leasing and as I said above I understand it was previously used by Cobham as a stand in for a UAV threat - not an infrequent visitor to Donna Nook AWR and Cape Wrath TC.
