Late turn for the coast today , it was quite busy south of the corridor with high level civil traffic possibly causing the delay. Now 51,000 ft and clear of any conflicts.

@16:28 local - Black 01 flew straight overhead heading towards Gloucester (Staverton) Airport (lower flight level than normal) but carried straight on (rather than a left-hand turn) so would suggest going for an 09 landing. Approx. 10mins to land.
