Looking across the junction of Gillam Road and Leybourne Avenue at dusk, as an aeroplane has made a U-turn and heads back northward. A few details have emerged from an internet search this evening, that it was a Bombardier BD-700 Global Express, modified and known as Sentinel, based at RAF Waddington in Lincolnshire. Its southwestward course having begun above approximately Cirencester, and the loop above Bridgwater-Taunton-Dunster-Barry Island. The plane was at an altitude of 43,025 feet. https://www.dropbox.com/s/rl4zpbov9k6jhmp/glex.PNG
