Kingair? this morning

[WAP]

any ideas what was buzzing around at about 01:15 this morning (06/06/10). Was too fast to be a Spylander and sounded more like a Kingair. It did about 4 orbits to the SE at about 500ft with all its lights on doing some pretty tight turns?

Done probably about 3 times a month, as they have top do all 4 runways ( 09L & 09R 27L & 27R ).
They go about 40 miles out and do run in on the visual and ILS / MLS from about 3000 ft.
