Sorry should have said, it's Farnborough

At least we know what it was, but not what it was doing. I suppose that I just have to worry about a black car with dark windows parking outside my house.

@Robin:

...would have given it a 'square' orbit

Nah, it was sublime, a dodecagon at worst. I see a lot of low-altitude trainers out of Rochester failing to get 'circular'. This thing had to have GPS or similar, it was so accurate. That's what got me interested in it.

Its capabilities in the radio spectrum are um.. a matter of record. My question is: was it testing something optical, that depended on the atmospheric crystal clarity that prevailed on the 26th?

Maybe they got a nice snap of me, I might be famous already... Ooh-er! Suppose I'll be seeing you in the trunk of that black 4x4. Bring some decent mp3s, I'll bring the Smirnoff.

Hi Zips.

Most certainly agree with your GPS theory, I think that the term I should have used instead of a 'square' orbit was a 'racetrack. An ex ROC friend of mine who I rang when the a/c was flying round, who also lives in Aylesford, said that he could see it flying North and then, after a couple of minutes turn West. Possibly they got a photo of you getting a photo of them.

To think if you was with friends they could hear you talking about the plane
