Right! Another of the droning buggers was back earlier this evening, and with broken cloud I managed to get a few looks and it was a 4 engined prop aircraft, but.....this time the body was longer and slender-er
than the AN-12. The engine tone was 'almost' the same yet different....It looked like an IL-18/Brittania/CL-44 more than anything else. I thought that realistically it was an Electra or a P-3 Orion or possibly a French Breguet Atlantique ? I'm stumped, but if any friendly ATC'er who was on the watch today might answer, it went over central London heading NNE at 19.50 local at no more than 20,000ft or so.
Another droner, apart from myself
today was a rare Piaggio Avanti at 15.00hrs, looking like it was headed for Northolt.
