Low Flying C17 ?

A;ways astonished at how quickly some Ppruner is able to answer queries about my assorted sightings and over flights over the Camberley area. Today was walking the dog early afternoon along the Blackwater River park and a very unusualy turbofan noise really caught my attention as it sounded very loud and very low in an area frequented by such beasts but all at 6000 or above in or out of LHR.

Any how the source of the noise appeared and seemed to be a C17 or whatever the RAF call them flying low -2000ft ? on an easterly heading -straight towards LHR but as I realised later possibly straight overhead Sandhurst RMA.

Was I right and although we ge ta lot of visitors in and out and over Sandhurst its usually helis or para dropping Islanders/Caravans. Low level heavy stuff is Farnborough weeks only as a rule?

Any offers
