27/04/21 AW109 MISSING FROM ADSB & PLANEFINDE

[jargon]

Seen distantly OTT Brookwood at 17.44 heading east from the Brands Hatch Area Kent, over Biggin Hill to an area just west of Blackbushe where it appears to still be hovering at 800feet at 18.14. Filming?? Police?? Military??. It only appears on flightradar24 as an AW109

Any Ideas on Reg?? 

Thanks

ADSB flight tracker is showing G-KSST on the ground South of the river at 18.45, not sure if its the same though. I have heard the the police helis no longer show on some sites, perhaps this has extended to all emergency service helicopters

Hi John

Blackbushe forum reports that G-LUGS was in and out yesterday

Hi Jeff and Graham

I had another look at the fr24 replay today, this time it only gave the time near Blackbushe as 17.48 to 17.55 where it disappeared at height in North Andover at 18.04. So a bit of an odd ball, where maybe the tracking was lost, and maybe the height shown was incorrect, who knows? I was surprised the flight showed on fr24 as I tend to find ADSB or planefinder is more likely to come up with it.

G-KSST is an AW169 and it does appear on fr24 replay so I don't think it was that

Yes some police flights don't show on some of the platforms

G-LUGS does usually appear on the trackers I look at.
