Many thanks.
Not sure of the altitude, but it was clearly visible.
It was banking round and turning westwards.
It had refuelling pods under each wing, but hoses were not deployed.
My guess is it was returning from a refuelling flight over the North Sea.

I’ve had a look using the playback on Planefinder and think you can discount ZZ334 as that routed in over Hastings and onto Biggin before turning west so would of been quite a bit to the west of you.
You don’t give a time so it makes it a bit awkward to give an idea of what you saw.

I am not sure of the time, although I do know it was after the Vulcan flyover.
I thought it was after 1430.
