Strictly speaking, this is off-topic for the Commercial Aviation forum.
Since there’s already a thread on this subject over on the General Aviation forum, I’m closing this one.

I just started a thread on GA about this…
As I stated there, I saw a Squirrel operating over Glasgow following the Tour of Britain cycle race today around 2.30pm or so.
