Unusual activity sun 19/4 4am Egremont

A few work colleagues have been asking if I knew anything about a light aircraft circling the Egremont / Cleator Moor area on Sun 19 April at around 4am. One workmate actually phoned the police as he was worried that the pilot may have been lost. Anybody any ideas? I thought it could have been the police looking for loft based hash gardens but the police did not know anything about an aeroplane in the area.

Hi all, i heard that too, thought it was very strange and odd. My first thoughts where of somesort of terrosit activity!, although i hope not. I think it might have been the police, cos at the end of the day they won't tell you, if it was or was'nt them. I was actually half expecting a RAF F3 or Typhoon racing over the skies.
