Did anyone see the aircraft circling at high altitude over east Leeds on Tuesday evening? It was circling for about an hour but then it was gone! Anyone know what it was all about? Pictures to follow shortly!

yeah i was watching it from 5.30 till about 6.30 then lost sight. I've spoken to some people in the street and the general consensus is it was either a military training mission and that was the AWACS or it was a plane with a problem using up fuel before an emergency landing!! I tend to go with the former idea!
