Twin V low over the Inner West

Hey all
Yesterday at precisely a few minutes past two one noticed a low wing twin prop pass overhead Newtown in a gentle left bank at no more that 200m. Sounded like it was on full noise and appeared to be maintaining altitude. What gives?

I saw the same thing yesterday around midday. Looked like a Titan or similar sized twin just east of Bondi Junction, would have only been 200'-300' heading north. As it disappeared behind Westfields it looked as though it was turning to track west down the harbour.

My first thought was departure of 07 at a heavy weight, lost a donk and was manoeuvring for one of the 16's.

Thanks AC, but how close were they to the day care/sports field/school excursion I wonder?

SC Indeed I am, a fine piece of kit too!
