Question

Thats because the dont have proper planes nowadays, only oversized hair dryers. Where are the Spitfires, Hurricanes, Lancasters that have engines that allow an aircraft to sound the way it should?

• a squadron of limos

 

So is this a proper plane @Sandy Ground.

 

Looks like an A400M, something I’m currently working on...

 

I'm none the wiser @Freddy. I've been told it's a Hercules, whether that's the same thing I haven't got a clue.

When it went over my head I could almost touch it. A month later the same plane did the same thing over a dam I was walking on. Quite scary when it's that low.

 

[/QUOTE]Not, really, Gail, nearly all Countries call them Squadrons. In the Navy, Army Corps, or Air Forces they're still referred to as Squadrons.

I could be wrong, but it looks like an A400M to me.
It’s a military transport plane, made by Airbus.

 

Right so we've gone from planes in co-ordination to identifying them

 

Our posts do tend to wander off subject and meander down other routes.

 

That's the way of GC Gail, diversifying on a thread often happens.

Freddy I get the feeling this plane is privately owned and flown for pleasure. In the pictures above it flew low towards me along the loch and then had to climb steeply as it went over my head and the mountains behind. It then had to bank heavily to the right and disappeared, I honestly thought it was coming down. At the dam in another area it flew exactly the same way coming up the river, low over the dam and banking off again to the right to avoid the high ground in front.

Comparing both planes I would say it's much older than the one in your picture and it certainly sounded like it, a heavy low throb as it passed over. To see it twice in a matter of weeks took me by surprise and if I get the chance again I'll take more shots. There were no markings/decals on the bodywork.

 

@HarryS I know mate that's why i'm having the crack
