I have a few locals on facebook saying that a big noisy aircraft woke them last night about 1115 pm, with someone saying it was a bone? I live right on the West Wales coast, Milford Haven way... Would one have worked or tracked this way last night?

I did, and looked at the tracking data kindly put up, but still can't see if one did wake up west Wales... I can see Cornwall, Exeter and Valley mentioned of course.... Just asking, that's all
