A400 is returning as RRR 4985 according to ADSB...

Currently off the NW coast of Spain.... took the coastal route out of Gib. Any ideas why?
Looks like it will be on a Tango route over the bay of Biscay.

Think it's for political reasons as they always seems to route around the coast there and back, rather than overfly Spain...

Correct, it's been like that for years, Spain does not grant overflight authority for UK military flights in and out of Gibraltar
