Cool things seen on FlightRadar

It probably went in to East Midlands - there's an oddity with Flybe flights on Flightradar where, because their transponders don't transmit position & FR24 is effectively triangulating them, they only appear once they're above a certain height. The result of this is that it sometimes assumes they've come from/diverted to nearby airports, e.g. you'll see loads that have apparently come/gone from Coventry when they've actually left from Birmingham, same with Nottingham/East Midlands.
On the height thing, if you want really high, look for the balloons, particularly over places in South America - they can be 60k feet + - this example is at 63,500 over Peru just now - https://www.flightradar24.com/HBAL015/eeca7b9
The google balloons hibal. They’re everywhere. They used to just be launched from Puerto Rico and somewhere in Chile but now they seem to be turning up all over the place.
