      Repatriation flight. BA had 2 772s (from Gatwick so high density configuration more than likely) today as well as well as a TAP A330.

      LOT operated a E190 repatriation flight from Cork last week alongside 787s into Dublin.

      I could be wrong but think they've added additional tracking for helicopters lately, hence why there appears to be much more activity.

      There are various radio navigation aids on the ground used by aircraft.

      Basically, calibrator aircraft verify the information sent out by these navaids to ensure it’s correct, and any interference etc is within limits.

      This can involve very specific manoeuvres that have to be flown precisely and without interruption to be considered reliable. Unfortunately for you, the middle of the night is the best time that they can do this at a busy airport without getting in the way of other aircraft/having everyone else get in their way.

      Presume its Approach feed that you'd need to listen in on?

      EDIT: NVM, the approach frequency is the correct one.

      If they are doing a fuel dump on a 330 they have bigger problems.

      Do they have another A330 lying around which can slot in for the damaged one?

      Private/corporate/business jets have their identity blocked on FlightRadar so the plane type just shows. GLF4 = Gulfstream IV/Gulfstream G450. Lot of Gulfstream IVs in from the US on a regular basis, they have an ideal range for East Coast US -> NW Europe.
