  Ah so thats what it was Alan, thanks for that, I saw it going by several times but found it very hard to get a good picture as the light was right behind it. Wondered why it was going up and down the coast..
  
  Today they have been doing those helicopters and spitfire runs. The spitfire pilot was being quite spectacular today, doing several loop de loops just west of Dover Harbour. Climbing into the sky looping over then falling...looked dangerous from where I am but Im sure he knew what he was doing.

  P.S. I believe it was to do with the Battle of Britain memorial.
