Unsurprisingly, aerial surveillance has been evident for the last few days. The watchers are busy!.
The police have Cessna aircraft and 'others' use Britten Norman Defenders.

It is the Britten Norman Defenders I keep seeing, circling round and around for ages at about 10,000 feet and they can be heard purring along softly at night. They are pretty quiet but have a distinctive sound. I do spot an occasional Cessna, but that may have nothing to do with this (or does it?).

I was always told that mobile phone communications, text messages and emails were scanned and monitored by RAF Menwith Hill in North Yorkshire. These people are connected to the NSA and scan all messages for key words looking out for just about anything. I can't imagine what a Defender aircraft would be doing circling around at ten thousand feet.
Tracking the movements of people?

raf waddington used to use them. probably still does. great aircraft for purpose and can stay aloft for some time

Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?
“Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".
“You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”
"You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”
“There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”

The Defender is quite easy to identify in flight, even at altitude, due to the distinctive turned up wingtips. I see them regularly.

Just been out in the garden and this little plane is circling round and round over Ealing at its usual altitude, about 8000 feet I reckon, doing orbits about four miles wide. It's quiet, but the sound is easy to recognise from the distinctive prop rasp and faint turbine exhaust 'whoosh', nothing else flying around here sounds anything like it. They must have a lot to monitor at the moment.
