A PLANE zigzagging and circling through the skies has been spotted.
The unusual flight path was spotted over Hereford, where it followed the A49 before circling and weaving above Woofferton and continuing south towards Rotherwas.
The aircraft, a Diamond DA62, took off from Oxford and was operated by 2Excel Aviation, a company that combines aircraft design, testing, and certification with skilled aircrew, engineers, and scientists to deliver contract air services and data insights.
The plane later appeared to have landed at Gloucester Airport.

2Excel has previously supported Network Rail with tree risk mapping along railway lines and is working to expand similar services into other sectors.
Its work involves exploiting remotely-sensed data to provide valuable, actionable insights.
The same plane was also tracked by plane spotters recently flying over London, with some believing that it may have been aerial mapping for Network Rail.
The purpose of this specific flight has not been confirmed.
