Quick question guys.

I was driving home through Burton and saw a four engined (I think) aircraft in a right turn (the field was on Easterlies) on its approach. From where I was, on the A511, it seemed quite low.

My Mrs then rang me and commented that an aircraft had just flown over our house "lower than usual". From the timing, that would have been the same one about 30 seconds earlier.

So, that's two of us independently thinking "lower than usual".

We are still getting used to the recent airspace changes (and easterlies doesn't happen that often).

Was there anything unusual, or were we both dreaming?

I believe there was a RAF B707 AWACS in the Circuit on Moday evening, presumably this at low level in the circuit or leaving/joining the Circuit
