FR24 lost it as it near Carrick, followed it on ADSB, some very high speeds showing in the two circuits and the orbit top of Lough Neagh.
I`m not sure how accurate they would be mind you. Would be good to see a Typhoon do a pass at Carrickmore-lol.

That's why I follow it on the radio as well. The time lag can be tricky and the rates these move about can be trying for accuracy.
