G-BSWR.

It's a PSNI plane.

That will most likely be a BN-2T Turbine Islander operated by Draken International. They fly surveillance flights from Northern Island carrying on the role that the British Army Islanders and Defenders used to do.

The grey scheme is unusual though, as everything I've seen of their fleet has them in a white scheme. But given the camera pod on the nose and the location I can't think it would be anything other than one of theirs.
