Is the coast guard plane and drone a daily thing
Discussion
Almost certainly due the first calm weather in ages, meaning the people smugglers had a lot of customers waiting to go.
Had it been further down the channel, the drugs being washed up in Dorset and the Isle of Wight could have been a factor.

Yeah there's a real mix up there most days when the weather is reasonable, a Canadian registered dash 8, DA42/62's, PA31's, Tekever drones etc. Whenever I look I'm always a little saddened by the amount of private jets flying at 40,000 feet over the top of all the madness in the Channel, the haves and the have nots.

I live near the sea, there were road men pacing up and down the beach looking like over excited toddlers Had it been further down the channel, the drugs being washed up in Dorset and the Isle of Wight could have been a factor.

Presumably looking for a free shipment
I live on the coast , just the other side of the White Cliffs of Dover .
The red and white coastguard planes go past almost daily.
We also see grey ones pretty regularly .
We used to have regular fly overs by yellow Sea King S&R choppers when they were stationed nearby .
The highlight these days is regular fly overs by Spitfires on trips for enthusiasts often accompanied by a Harvard or helicopter.

Our waterski lake is about 3 miles south of Lydd airport. The coastgaurd comes over at least 2 times a day and some days its up there going in and out many many times.
On a side note its very interesting to see some of the planes that come out of such a small remote airport. Some of the private jets just dont fit with the area. Always makes me wounder who it is and why fly out of there.
