Flight paths

We live north west of Reading and used to be able to set our watch by Concorde coming over on the way out of Heathrow. Now consigned to history sadly.

We live near Gatwick and very occassionally have planes fly over us when they appear to be slightly off the normal route. It is often on days when there are lots of storm clouds about, so just assumed they were avoiding those.

We have had planes going over our home very low as they are going into MANCHESTER and in summer they sometimes go round and round as there is on room .
We can hear the drone of the engines first thing in a moring when the first flights are coming in .
Love to fly into MANCHESTER from FLORIDA as they go over our house and see plces we know and intersting .

Thanks for the replies everyone.

Now that it has been suggested im pretty it must have been going around back into land.

On a clear day, i can see the system, it definately wasnt that, plus it was much much lower than ive usually seen them stack.

The airport is out the front of my house, however, this plane went over my house, coming from that direction. I watched it til i couldnt see it anymore, and it did look to be turning.

Thanks for all your help

It was glasgow airport, btw.

Blott is right but it could also have been a 'go around' an abandon landing so it could have been as low as 200 feet and with full power on it would also have been very loud[msnwink]

I hate that...we do that a lot landing late afternoon in FL to go around storms...you think you're landing then you don't...it does my bad ears no good at all...I'm deaf for hours after....[msneek]
