Talking Is he lost, sight seeing or what?

Rather intrigued by a Global Express doing a large orbit at 40000' over the Home Counties!

Being picky, it's a Global 5000 (GL5T) rather than a GLEX.

I'll forgive you. To be honest I really have no idea of the differences between them.

Interesting flight. Set sail from Milan and after the orbit I saw, it headed to Strumble, held there for a couple of turns at 29000 then landed at Farnborough. Probably the customers trying to decide between New York or London for dinner... "Excuse me Sir, the Captain regrets he has been unable to reserve seats for you at Le Bernardin this evening but The Connaught can do a table for two at 8 o'clock and we have a helicopter standing by for you at Farnborough..."

Hope he had PPR to land at Farnborough; TAG are very picky about unannounced weekend arrivals because of the limited movements allowed at weekends.(Yes I am aware it's been increased in recent years).
