Thanks BRL for a sensible response
And to the other 2 for yours
The approach was heard for along time before it passed overhead making people wonder what was happening....
It was very loud when it went over ,and was very low for the area.
It's not an area where lowflying airliners are seen.
Just wondered why the plane was allowed to / have to fly so low
as many awoke fearing the worst.
We don't get plane noise in this area (fortunately), but this was almost unreal.
Be interesting to know who the operator was . . . .
