Squirrel In Ramsey Iom

Anyone any idea what the Squirrel that has been over my house in Ramsey, Isle of Man, for the last 90 mins has been doing. c 2000ft, seems to have Ramsey Cottage hospital as a waypoint, then sods off west, then comes back.

Its not the Feds, is it

Might have done - some sort of streamlined box slung between the skids - about the length between the struts?

White machine with bit of red on the tail.

It is the feds, isn't it?

I saw an airliner today over my house. I think it was at 35000 feet going west.
Good grief!!

I think you might find it is a geological survey aircraft.
Norwegian reg single squirrel flying around at 40-45kts on line survey.
They have very slowly been flying across most of the UK.
