Flown by WTN10 went to Holbeach climbed FL240 for transit. Hand off to Swanwick Mil 277.625 @ 1427z. Nothing showing on mode S sites as per usual. Although BT17 was noted outside on 358 apron earlier this was actually ZJ938/IPA6. Noted at around 4000ft over the Fylde just nth of Lytham @1558z in gentle L/H turn to join downwind for 25 & landed 1601z.
Carrying Sniper pod? Please see my previous post (18/2).

WTN69 up in IPA6 @1728z hdg for Holbeach...handoff to Swanwick 277.62 @ 1734z FL250 hdg 110deg. Think he wanted to extend range opening times? Presumably already got a 1800z range slot which normally run for 1hr.
