NAT tracs (nort atlantic tracks) are way north infact they are between the tip of wales and the tip of iceland that is where all north atlantic jets cross, they are between them two points.
To fly to spain on must first pass over bordeuxto fly that the pilots will fly over pourtsmouth which is far from the coast line at lands end.
Western approaches are used only by millatry aircraft as they regularly exercise there, and this is the route the F117 will have to have taken to enter British airspace.
Read up on it.
International rules state no twin engine jet can be more than 2 hours from a airport.
Aircraft must also follw designated waypoints along a set route known by both pilot and ATC.
