Aircraft Circling Worcester City UK

Have searched for other posting but cannot find the answer. Could anyone throw any light for the reason for an aircraft that has been constantly circling Worcester City for weeks now? It did the same thing last year. Have not caught sight of it yet due to cloudy conditions but it is constantly droning away for days on end.

Panic Not, if it's been circling that long it's bound to run out of fuel soon...

Could it be the flying fuzz, we get them here a lot too. As a matter of interest what kind of flight plan do they lodge as their routes seem pretty random at about 1500ft ?

Do us all a favour - they are doing us one - suggest you quietly delete the post. The BBC reported a very brief one-liner on 5 Live News a few weeks ago.
Not always the same a/c by the way.
