No, this entirely depends on air traffic and weather conditions.
There are a number of factors in deciding flight paths. There are incoming planes and outgoing planes from an airport and each must have a different flight path. There are also civil restrictions on flying over populated areas, which means at certain times of the day some flight paths are off limits. Often a coastal city must be approached from the sea, so the flight path may involve approaching the city by a rural flight path to miss populated areas and then several tight turns to approach the airport from the ocean.
The Coriolis effect causes the rotation of the Earth to deflect the path of moving objects, including planes. This effect influences the direction of winds and can result in curved flight paths for planes traveling long distances. Pilots must account for this when planning routes to ensure efficient and safe travel.
most planes come in over northern wales after leaving atlantic airspace, then down towards birmingham to london
That would depend on the day, time plane and weather. Most modern planes would chose direct.
Absolutely not - there are far more planes in the Navy than there will ever be Academy graduates who are on a flight career path.

It depends on which way the wind is blowing. Aircraft always land and take off into the wind.
To determine a flight path, you must first specify your starting location.

Planes fly at high altitudes because the thinner air reduces air resistance, allowing the aircraft to fly more efficiently. Flying at high altitudes also provides smoother air currents, less turbulence, and shorter flight times due to the ability to take advantage of jet streams. Additionally, being at a higher altitude allows planes to avoid obstacles on the ground and have more flexibility in choosing their flight path.
The flight path follows a Northeast direction.
