Unidentified twin circling Oval cricket ground
 
It's Friday afternoon so a bit of fun! I'm just listening to Test Match Special on the radio - 3rd One Day International between England and South Africa - the commentators (surprisingly not including Henry Blofeld!) are rather pre-occupied by a twin-prop aircraft repeatedly circling the Oval. Various listeners have e-mailed Aggers with suggestions of which aircraft type it is and what they're up to, but he - himself a pilot - has said it is none of them. Obviously England thrashing the Saffers under Kevin Pietersen - who incidentally inspired my pprune handle - is becoming boring!

Any ideas which type, and what they're doing?

100% sure its not the capital flying eye, maybe its the twin prop out of Northolt which likes to circle, (if you understand). Did we get what colour it was...

If LCY is on runway 10, we often fly over the oval on localiser intercept..
could i therefore propose a VLM Fokker 50?
