Flight Radar right now - private jet to Inverness?

Just seen a high end jet flying from Farnborough near London to Inverness.
No details - who would have one of these? Royal family? Footballers? Owner of Aberdeen oil field?

Just passing a rainy afternoon!

Possibly a wealthy foreigner going to a pheasant shoot in the Scottish Highlands. It used to be a big thing with well-heeled Americans coming to the Yorkshire Dales and Moors in their own private jets.

There’s a very rich Dutchman who owns large parts of highlands.

I would assume it's related to oil. I have friends whose parents are directors of big oil companies and they fly that route quite often.

The landowner a PP is thinking of is Danish.

Pippa Middleton off to visit the in-laws’ place? Someone off to Skibo Castle?

I live half a year in N Yorks that has the greatest amount of pheasants in the country over 2.5 million

Bred for purpose, it wouldn’t surprise me if rich people of all nationalities fly in to nearest private airport... bagby Maybe?
The birds seem happiest trying to throw themselves under my car wheels.

I know somebody pulling in over two million a year who works for a company with an office in Perth, and another in Southern England.

There is (or used to be, it's been dark the last few times I've been there) a Harrods hanger at Inverness airport. Some very rich people shoot and fish in the Highlands!

It's only Trump. He's given up and is going to hide out in Scotland.

PigletJohn, I live near Perth. It’s 110 miles from Inverness, and a tedious 2 hour drive down the A9 from there, even without roadworks! Nobody would travel to Perth via Inverness airport, when Edinburgh airport is just 35 miles away.

private planes arent a rarity. So likely to be someone you have never heard of. Not that you are going to know who it is anyway. what is a high end jet? Could be a Gulfstream (different models), a Dassault (different models) or even a 777
