And there's something currently doing circuits over Evesham, been round at least half a dozen times in the last hour. Sounds big & loud, anyone got any idea what it is, nothing on plane finder etc

Morski, that pic looks like a Sentinel R1. They're based at Waddington I think.

Noise level well above that of modern fan-engine airliners, and quite different. Same time/date as Evesham, but heard near north Malverns.

RAF - Sentinel R1/ASTOR

Interesting stuff, thanks for those links. So I'm guessing that these are training exercises or similar that are happening over the UK then?

Just as likely these days is that we're being watched - under cover of the UK's mantra "security is paramount"!

1984 but 20 years late!

So what?! I don't mind being watched as I've nothing to hide! If being watched improves my overall personal security I'm all for it.

Hi Morski,

No problem. Yes they will be training missions.
