BAW139 (B744 G-BYGE 40073D) departed LHR 27L at 11:39 local this morning, so that's what you picked up passing through 5600'.

I have no idea why its details would have been assigned by RadarBox to the Puma, which I logged from 11:04 to 11:35, but never above 2000'.

So bug rather than April Fool, I would suggest.

Yes, that's a straightforward miscode on one of EP-MNR's transponders and not related to the bug discussed above.
