Just heard something overheard in North Nottingham, anyone have any info on what it might have been?

Also had something low n loud over Derby at about the same time (1330). ADS-B showed a Tornado over the area at this time, followed a short while later by a second example. Judging by the trace the first one appeared to take, it might have performed a missed approach at EMA...

Thanks! Sounds highly likely that it was one of those :)
