Is that the one that was reported to have made an emergency landing?

Yes ,as I heard this on Brize 133.75 earlier on in the evening on Thursday ,sounded like he had some knnd of nav issue,and said he would head up north as was on a specific heading. He also required landing asap .
Sounded very on edge from the RT I heard ,so I was relieved to hear that it landed safely later on at Coningsby.
Hope that explains it ok.
All the best
