As that's just an one runway airport, I was thinking that it could be possible for an aeroplane coming from the East with the wind from behind having the need to make a U turn to be able to land against the wind, and that way it would be possible for the aeroplane to pass more to the South and be visible from that position.
But with no planes that theory is not applicable.

Although that site is called Flight Radar 24 it does not use radar, it uses the aeroplanes' transponders, so an aeroplane with the transponder turned off will not show. Any craft without a transponder will not show either, obviously.

The forum shows only "4 hours ago", which would mean 16:30 in Portugal or 15:30 UTC, if I'm not mistaken.
