P-68 G-RIPA is cuuently(1200) carrying out survey runs via overhead the airfield at 3500'/ The runs are North-South starting from approx Otley to Batley and gradually heading East
Yesterday what looked like a Boeing AWAC passed directly overhead Cookridge heading South East, presumably towards an East Anglian base. It wasn't high and could be seen clearly once it cleared some scattered cloud.
Last evening there was a Boeing AWAC circling near the coast of Romania (Constanta) presumably keeping an eye on the southern Ukraine Odesa/Crimea region etc. I didn't note the aicraft details but it was in a stationary orbit for a long time at, if memory serves me right, at 37000ft. Maybe this is what you saw.
Passing just west of LBA(Over Bradford 1218) at 24000' heading North-

i must be a lunatic. Friday 25th Sept will see me doing a daytrip that involves me leaving my flat in Manchester at 1am and not getting back home until after midnight. All because I'm doing a Loch Ness and Scottish Highlands trip.... out of Glasgow
For some weird reason, my days off work tend to involve being out of my flat by 5am and not getting back until 10pm. Back to work and the regular "fix" of 7.40am to 7.15pm hours
