High Flying prop just north of MAN

[gazza007]

Last hour or so i've been bugged by a prop flying high circuits 5K+. I'm convinced its not the GMP islander as that usually is quite low and buzzes me on short finals.

Any clues, not the first time its been there

Isn't it the RAF's Islanders that perform that mission, rather than the police's ?

Both, I believe
