Circling Over BHX?

[Kyle P JMC]

He guys, been watching flightradar24 for a while, and just spotted this over Birmingham, anyone got any ideas why this plane appears to be circling, is it a problem with FR24 or something else?
He appears to have gone round at least 10 times

Google the registration and you may find an answer.

Ooooooh,
Thanks for that, i did a check what the aircraft was, a Reims F406 Caravan II, but not the registration, sorry. definitely answered my question though.
also explains the MLAT.
It appears to have taken off from a field judging by the path on google maps unless some has gone missing of course (EDIT: oh, based in Farnborourgh)

Thanks again.

Hi, I’m not an aviation enthusiast but sometimes just interested in what’s flying around & where to but yesterday (same as Kyle I think) watched on FR a Reims Cessna caravan II ‘flying’ around in a weird manner, like I said I’m no enthusiast, when I opened the app this morning there was a msg on the FR screen saying something like there was no such aircraft. Is this a glitch?
thank you

Ok it’s happening again, another aircraft same make/model but different colours, please can someone explain what this is.

This is the aircraft & looking at the livery I’m guessing it’s doing some kind of mapping??
