Default Prop planes over Scotland


(Aberdeenshire) Quietly standing in the garden yesterday, hanging out
washing, when I heard an unusual noise and, looking up, saw a four
engine prop plane fly over the village from the north, then bank towards
the west. A few moments later, a second one did the same.

Was not wearing my specs, so could not say what type of aircraft they
were, or even details of markings. Unusual, though. The only planes we
normally see are occasional RAF fighter jets on practice or training
flights. Quite often see helicopters flying west to Balmoral, but
nowhere there to land a plane.

Any thoughts?
