I saw the AWAC'S at low level over Beeston on Thursday morning still too high to see if it was RAF or otherwise but it begs the question what is a Military aircraft doing in a civil flight corridor at low level when its mission is usually high level airspace surveillance. I know the RAF use L/B for approach training etc but this bird was not heading in to L/B .
