Yep - same down our way in the Vale of Pewsey (or a bit west): Hercs, Merlins, Chinooks and Osprey are all regular visitors to our roof tiles. And lately the A400Ms have joined in too. Quite impressive when you're ready for it but less of a lark at 2am when you're dreaming of Spitfires (honest dear).

I can't imagine any 4 engine types that have any business at 500 feet other than Hercules or A400s.
I'd like to think the BBMF or Sally B crews would know better.
Likewise, P-3 operators...(a forum reader recently mistook one for a B-17).

A few years ago on cricket tour south of Minehead 3 Herc's flew over the ground so low you could see (but not read) the stencilling on the fuselages. Very impressive.

Did anyone see a very low flying possibly C130 0ver the area of Braintree Essex yesterday, from our view maybe 3 or 4 miles to the south it looked to be not much more than 500 feet AGL could not of been B-17 or Lancaster any ideas?
