What aircraft is this?

Hi all

I have been lucky and been working on M4 a lot over the last 2 weeks, very close to Heathrow so get to see aircraft taking off. Now, I am getting to know if there is a 747 over my head, and if there is a smaller plane, but I also know when this plane goes over. It is a 'T-tail' type, engines at the back and is quite small (maybe smaller than an A319?) It makes a huge noise and I am sure is louder than a 747 and almost certainly louder than an A340. I would love to know what type it is and who the carrier is. And before someone says it, no I am not a bearded weirdy!, I am actually genuinely interested.
Also, does anyone have any tips for identifiying types of aircraft from the ground?
I thank you..
