900 foot below the surface?

Couldn't find them on marine traffic either.

No. clearly not.

It's likely that whoever operates the receiver that's picking up these signals is decoding the data wrongly.

In fact, the lat/lon positions may well be equally unreliable.

That’s three in about a week now - sitting in my home office I hear the unmistakable sound of a Merlin overflying; sadly I couldn’t see it out of the window so jumped onto Flight Radar and sure enough it was the 2-seat Spitfire.

Lots of military helicopters flying most nights here in the south west. Seems they're flying out of Yeovilton, anywhere round Bristol, Portland etc they cover gound quite quickly.
Aircraft too, doubtless military, no identification on them in ADSB

I'm guessing the aircraft weren't more helicopters.

We had a flyover (3 passes)
I know it had been at Whitby as well, presumably by direction of approach, prior to us

Went to daughter, & boyfriends, house late this morning

I’ve seen this van before, whilst en-route there, but not with nothing else parked behind it
Apologies for quality, it was a bit of a grab-shot

Terberg have the contract for supply/maintenance for RAF airfield trucks, there was a lot of Aircraft refueling trucks on site last year, doesn't bode well if it's specifically for refueling Vulcans though

I think the 'wrap' just made for a visually arresting image
The TV show 'SuperTruckers' featured a movement of a tow-vehicle (with Kings Heavy Haulage), from Terberg, to an airshow, specifically for the Vulcan
(or that's how the show presented the movement)

Strange that they would do that, surely all Airfields, be they civilian or military, would have all they need on site, for all the different jobs that need covering
