Title: Antonov/C-130?
Post by: Steve7 on January 26, 2011, 10:08:10 AM

0900hrs this morning spotted a large 4 engined aircraft flying over Carryduff from the general direction of Aldergrove.
Props and trailing smoke/exhaust fumes..Antonov/C-130?  ???

No camera with me at the time.. :-[

I heard a prop engine plane around 7 this morning. Wonder if they were the same one?
