        Yeah, I checked MT too. However it's not uncommon for warships to have AIS switched off!!

                    Fly over several times. The A400 was at 750 ft…..and we are at 450 ft….so it was pretty noisy…..had to look for the 767 with Bono’s though, he was a couple of miles up….but still clearly audible. Lots of helos around as well..

                        Dang it, now I feel like the Don Martin cartoon character instead of flies above me, they're 12 or more helis buzzing in circles...all types.

                        Cheers,

                          Saw this flying up Conwy Valley last week - don't often see KC-135's flying about low level.

                                We are getting all kinds of weird stuff buzzing around at the moment. Either NATO flexing or Putin playing chicken. Russian aircraft think they can cut across Danish airspace My house is under the flight path for the rebuffle flight. Sometimes they are rather low and way to fast over land. One little sonic boom and the local FaceBook page goes mental. lol
                                We have had 1B one's night flights, and Dassaults, F16. F35, (noisey buggers those.) buzzing the coast - 1km away!
