Hi,
Could have been G-BOIL had it tracking out of Blackpool heading back to Barton. Its not uncommon for an aircraft to do circuits before heading off. The only other is I-GAUS which appears to be doing survey work.
Hope that helps
Chris

I think you could be right about I-GAUS

Your welcome.
I've seen/heard him alot this morning as I work in Trafford Park. Its a shame it isn't something military, now that would be nice for a Friday.

Re: Warton/Blackpool gas and go Sept 4 1130 L
Further investigation indicates it was neither of these two Chris.
This one doesn't track [unless you have Mode A/C.]
Strangely though it was in close proximity to I-GAUS for a while , but is now heading back home towards the Farnborough area.
Maybe it will pop up in a Warton log

Only others I can see are N242CV or G-BGCO. Both these taken from todays Warton movements.

Hi,
G-BSAH (Britten-Norman BN2T Islander/Gama Aviation) ex ZH536 was at Blackpool earlier this morning for re-fuel.
Gather it may have been this, didn't show on ADS-B!

Did anyone get a callsign? Not a stranger to Blackpool in its former guise, a fairly frequent visitor in the past, operating on behalf of Security Services. Thought it might have been from Waddington.chrisward123 wrote: ↑Fri Sep 04, 2020 1:41 pmHi,

Thanks. Tends to spend hrs loitering around in orbits @ 10000ft maybe lower, with minimum of R/T.

Indeed , it also seems to be replaced by I-GAUS when departing the area back to Northolt.
