I heard a whining high pitched aircraft overhead just now, clearly on its way in to Northolt (this location in Stoke Poges is right under the lined up landing flight path in to Northolt from the West) and so hit Flightradar 24 expecting to see no flight plot at all (which is now the case for most military or UK government aircraft using this airport, although one used to be able to see the flight track but not the official origin or destination with most such flights, including the Queen's own helicopter).
So anyway I was impressed to find that with this Piaggio P180 aircraft from Bordeaux (which looks like a private business jet bringing someone back from either smart summer holidays or a major professional wine buying research trip) that at long last Northolt (NHT) is finally shown by Flightradar24 as an actual destination airport for the small number of flights in to the airport (there are never more than 20 inbound and outbound movements a day at the very most and frequently much less than this with a general declining trend since Farnborough and Biggin Hill etc began complaining about unfair competition from the military and/or making spiteful interventions about safety standards at the airport) who's transponder information is not now blacked out by this website as a result of some kind of agreement with the military and the government.
A copy of the screen capture for the said event is shown below.
