This morning I was aware that the track over the Atlantic to the US was heading over the south of Ireland and, being the nerd that I am, checked it out on the Plane Finder app on my iPad. G-VRAY was heading in my direction but to the north of me. Well I couldn't miss the opportunity to see her, albeit at 30,000+ ft, could I? So out with my binoculars I went (I said I was a nerd) and sure enough in the sky was a silver plane to the north. I could clearly see the VS tail fin and the 2 engines on the plane but the surprising thing was instead of proceeding due west it was taking a south-westerly course and heading towards me. However it then flew above clouds and that was the end of that.
Later on I looked once more on the Plane Finder app and the track of G-VRAY was still there and this is it - the red line:
Was it buzzing me, paying homage or what?
