Low hight of test flight over Swansea 20:40 BST

Hi,
A wide 4 engined jet was seen very low over Swansea going SE presumably to Cardiff. What is the normal height for an approach to Cardiff. This jet was so low you could easily make out the shape of the engine cowlings and the bypass and also the flag on the tail. It was quite loud, a bit like being at Cheadle heath on the approach to MAN.

Will they be doing all the flights at such a low height?

Thanks
