Very odd Hawker Beech 1000
Right now, Sunday night 1055. Been watching this on FR24 high level over Nirthern England out to the IoM then back across to Newcastle. 39000 ft then straight across the sea to Dennark but turns back.
Hawker Beech 1000. No other info.
I'm guessing military.
Any thoughts?

Almost certainly spurious.
Aircraft don't make instantaneous 180° turns like the one shown on the trace, and the absence of any other information such as tail number or ICAO24 makes one wonder how FlightRadar determined that it was an H25C.

If it's the aircraft I saw, it was on a 0024 squawk, which is for an aircraft performing some form of calibration. I'm guessing it was checking out high level radar coverage.

Probably undertaking radar flight trial of Great Dun Fell radar. In my day we flew the Hs125 at levels up to FL390 from 15nm inbound to the radar overhead then out to max radar range for either the primary or SSR. Procedure turn at loss of radar coverage. All the different altitude runs were on the same heading.
Recall the turn inbound at range for GDF was just inside Denmark's airspace.
