Unidentified transport aircraft
I was just north of Yeovilton on Thursday morning 24 Mar at about 11.10 when I heard an aircraft noise that was unlike any I had heard before. It was deep, yet high reving, slow moving and very heavy. So I got out of my car and saw what looked a bit like a Belfast (tubby, straight winged reasonably high aspect ratio) going north at circa 3/4000 ft and say 200kts BUT it had SIX engines with propellors all unusually close to the centre line. Indeed I would guess the outboards were only at half span.
Anybody able to help me identify it?
