SUN 11/10/20 B727mod G-OSRA spray trials

I know not military but maybe of interest to someone and also for the record..seen over outskirts of Holyhead)

FR24 gives ATD from DSA as 1223L and arrival back at DSA as 1530L. Aircraft was down at Lasham from 24/9/20-9/10/20 so possibly new spray gear nozzles were fitted during this time.

(Sister ship G-OSRB had done an overshoot of rwy 19 here in August).

No landings were made. 12+ passes were made at low level to runway 01 with water sprayed on all but the first pass.
