AN-26 flightpath

After hearing this droning overhead I decided to follow it as it made it's merry way at 190kts back to Poland. It's flightpath is puzzling and the only conclusion I can reach is that it's adhering to some 'ETOPS'-ish protocol of 2 engines over water. Any ideas chaps ?

I was 2 mins behind a colleague into the Dog & Bull after stopping at a cash point when that went over Croydon: "Did you hear that aircraft droning over just as you arrived in the pub?" "Nope". Bet you it was an Antonov". Mind you, I was expecting it to be a -12.
