I heard something rather loud going OTT Lower Ballinderry today around 1205,could not see it,but seemed louder than normal for a high flyer-possibly an A330,they tend to be fairly loud depending on the conditions.

I can see that the Scandinavian holiday season is in full swing; lots of Norwegian, SAS and Primera flights heading down to the Sun.

On a similar note, here's a Latvian-registered A320 doing a run from Glasgow for Thomas Cook.
