My local tar1090 view shows a flight about 130 miles out to sea about 24 hours ago. I can look at the graphs and see that this was about 08:30 25/10 UTC. Is there any way of looking up the place and time to see what it was? This is a low density area, there won’t be many flights to choose from. (flightradar has a “playback” option which does this).
Tar1090 does have a history, but it depends on how it is configured.
And there is a good chance that your SD card will be destroyed pretty fast due to the write attempts.

If you want to enable such a replay mode locally, that’s the readsb --heatmap 30 --heatmap-dir /var/globe_history with the data used by tar1090.
If you don’t know hoiw to apply those changes to your readsb config, consider:

Replay is automatically built in.
There is this super outdated thing as well … https://github.com/wiedehopf/timelapse1090/
Thanks, @wiedehopf , @foxhunter. I need to do some work on the configuration - at the moment it’s running on a Pi zero (which was all I could find a year ago when I was shopping), so I need to keep the setup pretty minimal, I am hoping not to try storing anything that I don’t have to, and not running MLAT because I very rarely see more than 2 planes at any one time. The flightradar playback works well for this situation.
