Did a "0.5 mile SRA" for ATC currency then a short pattern ILS? T/g 1624 & land 1627L. Appears to have parked on MTA (apron NW side) as taxied back in via Bravo. Dev jets normally operate from southside (358 apron). Couldn't make out which one it was from Lytham, too much haze. Nothing appeared on mode-S needless to say.
