New aircraft to the airline picked up after being painted at Norwich and flown around on a handover flight with a few tests along the way?

Bird strike on take off, diverted to Brussels, apparently

This flew over our house twice at 8pm ish (we are just North of Dereham) comparatively low and noisy . So much so that I fired up FR24 just after to find out what it was. Following the tracker and Twitter it seems it was doing some circuits to use up fuel for an emergency landing at Norwich.

Having done so and having roads closed adjacent to the airport, it was decided Brussels had better night emergency provisions so it diverted there.

Interestingly on FR24 it did another loop in Suffolk before crossing the Channel, more fuel burning or second thoughts?

It ended up in Brussels as the airline has a maintence depot there flew at 15000ft. Made sense in the end ,
