Well not only saw this on Plane Plotter but he tracked OTT Bangor making a nice drone and visual over the house.  Irish 252 headed East towards Prestwick currently.

What time was this, if you don't mind me asking, I heard something unusual over Glengormley about 13:30~14:00? At first I thought it was a Chinook, or a "Bell" of some sorts, or a Piston engined twin, the sound kept changing  as it got closer and past by?

I wasn't here at the time but I see the Radarbox recorded a C130 ZH887 as Lyneham to Aldergrove. Not sure if id is correct or a wrong route but the timings tie in with Aertanks question.
