Thanks BJ , I have been tracking something for the last 20 minutes heading NE at altitude towards Mildenhall area then out into the Wash on sqwk 6401
Thought it was a U2 but couldn't see any reports of one leaving.
Nice work.....early breakfast ?

I had ear plugs in and it still woke me up! - thouthg it was a '52 as it was pretty loud. Probably the wind blowing my way.
