Thanks guys, but it was more like 10.15 and definitely jet powered. Same thing happened yesterday too, but a little later. Nothing showed up then either

Morning all, Just noticed this on ADSB, never seen this before - two E3's orbiting clockwise/counter-clockwise with about 2k ft separation. One from NATO, the other from the RAF.

Had something fly over my house around 30 mins ago in Dudley, West Midlands quite loud. Think flying East to West direction. There were 3 sets of contrails when I got outside but I was too late to see what it was. Any ideas what it was folks ?
A BA flight has just left LGW for LHR, another about to take off for the same place. Also an easyJet for Bristol and one from Manchester. Another eJ arrived from Berlin earlier and heading back soon. Sadly they are heading North after take-off so I can't see them from my house
easyJet doing lots of sorties from LGW to other non standard UK airports (Manchester and Southend) currently.
Also a few little loops LGW-LGW; hope this isn't a daft question but when they do short test flights like that do they have to make sure they have sufficient fuel to go somewhere else in case anything goes wrong? and if so do they have to dump it?
