Ahhh, so that's what it was! We were on the Strand, 5.30 - 6.30 and it was carrying out circuits - on one pass had its landing gear down. We couldn't make out the livery from our position, I managed to get this picture - unfortunately each time it came by I was busy talking and had to scramble to get the camera on and zoomed.... anyhow excuse the quality
