Airliner over Donna Nook
 

Large civil aircraft Boeing 737 or similar orbiting Grimsby and down as far as Donna Nook range at low altitude this afternoon.
Any ideas what it was doing?

Poseidon adventure?

My daughter assures me it was Boris’ A330 (Voyager). Our “Air Force One”! A white aircraft with a very large Union Jack on the tail. She thought it was trying to land on Cleethorpes pier! 😳

P-8 perhaps?

As already posted by 4468, it was RAF Voyager ZZ336. Tracking at following link.

Thanks for the info, "Boris" it is!!!!
Thought the large red tail was airline markings.
Unusual to see something that large over my house.
