Loud prop aircraft

Post by Airshowhammer »

Any idea what just went over north London? Nothing on Flightradar, literally just made the whole house vibrate? Sounded like an Antonov

Very often it's A400s as well. They're very loud. I couldn't see anything on ADSB however.

US Navy C-130T went over not too long ago, may have been that?

Quite possibly, but sounded like one big buzz!

The one at 12.50 was a Portuguese AF aircraft from Beja (probably a P3 Orion), it's showing on FR24 as AFP63 and is currently heading up the North Sea.

An A400M has just gone over Basildon, heading west. Doesn’t make the same racket as an An-12 though.

This passed directly over BHX heading back south yesterday at around 4pm at 25,000ft.... the drone was very loud and constant - sounded a lot like the An-12's do!
