Noted heading NE over Guildford at 10:53. Any clues as to its ID?

In answering my own query G-ASJL has just appeared on FR24 (at 10:58), although bizarrely, it is situated to the SW of Guildford, and not the NE.

I've lost a lot of confidence in FR24 recently. I hear something zoom overhead low, swicth on FR to see what I've missed and there's nothing there.... except a Kingair a few miles away heading for my overhead. Run to the garden..... nothing seen or heard. That's happened half a dozen times in the last week or so.
Good to know G-ASJL is still about. I first saw it at Blackpool in 1965!

Jeez, I was -4 years old back then. Yes, FR24 does have lag when it comes to MLAT stuff, although its positional accuracy (in terms of track) is often more reliable than Plane Finder, as a result. That said, for MLAT stuff at higher altitude, Plane Finder is usually 'bang on'.
