Transporter spotted

I think this was a Beluga, but may've been a Dreamlifter. Over St Helens, Merseyside yesterday.

I'd put my money on a Beluga, doubly so as St Helens isn't a million miles from the Airbus factory in Chester. Always impressive to see them flying, it just doesn't look right, yet…..

Beluga! Never seen one, though my colleagues who are doing some work at Chester keep sending me pics...

The Dreamlifters seem to be regulars over the UK.

It is definitely a Beluga. It is in Airbus house colours and is nothing like a Dreamlifter.

Grrr

defiantly a beluga doesn't look anything like a dreamlifter, with I had more commercialised jets fly by me, I l live near and RAF base so its all military I see the odd 747 coming into land which I find strange. but ill see if I can get some shots with my crappy phone camera when im at school of some helicopters F-14 C-17 747
they are some beautiful planes, they come in to land about 2-3 mile away so they are quite low. when im at school its about 1/4 a mile to the runway so they come pretty much overhead

You'll be lucky to get a photo of a landing F-14...

They normally work Liverpool approach on 119.85 when going into Chester.
