RRR1324

I have noticed this RAF flight a few times recently, its a BN2T reg ZF573. Its always at FL100 squawking 5002.
Does anyone know where and what this may be doing. I've seen it now for 13 days in the last 19. I'm in the SE of England close to LGW so its reasonable to assume its location is within a 100 mile radius of me.

If we told you what it's doing, we'd have to shoot you ...

Ha ha, I understand!!

Perhaps just a small clue then??

Dave, I understand this aircraft is based at RAF Northolt, its use would seem to be unclear but some kind of surveillance I believe.

Thanks for that!
I thought it may have been operating in the Lambourne area as there was some unusual holding patterns and few clearances to FL100, they were tending to go from 110 to 90.

Hi, You will also find ZH536 pottering around Liverpool and the Northwest checking the scenery out at FL100
