Plane(s) flying over and over at night Gloucester

[Destination]

Might be someone's partner, flying home to start a business with them.

Doubt it's RAF, they don't get up till 10 ish and don't like going out in the dark

Well Hotel check-out time isn't til midday and it's important to get a lie in. Plus it's difficult to fly at night as no-one can see them and tell the aircrew how cool they look

If it's the A400, then yes they are bloody loud. We get them here quite regularly from Brize Norton, often into the evening.

Turns out it was a low flying A400m

I guess you guys are right I'm being a drama queen being in a new flight path of military transport aircraft that's disturbing me and my family (and half of Gloucester) from midnight for hours.

Sounds like it might be various groups practicing for the forthcoming attack on Donetsk.

Nothing to worry about there, even if trump becomes president the wait time on a new barbie sized nuclear trigger is about 4 years.

You reckon they'll make a push on Donetsk? the next month and a half are pretty much prime conditions (for Russia) should Russia counter with heavy armour and then pretty slim window between that and until winter sets in.

an A400? was tom cruise strapped to the side?

They may be secretly testing a new way of taking your rubbish and emptying your wheelie bin in the early hours in stealth, 5am ish

HA!

Try living next to an army garrison where they dont care what time it is to go cruising around in a chinook!

I like the "cruising around", makes me picture local chavs in fiestas driving around a McDonalds car park.

If I'm getting in a helicopter I would prefer that the pilots have lots of experience flying day and night.

I didn't think the A400 was that loud. I've seen it a couple of times at fairford. Absolutely awesome plane.

It doesn't sound loud when you've already had a B1 blast past with its wings back and afterburners on

So this happened for a whole 1 night and you were already crying about it? I thought you were more alpha than that.

A330-243MRT think out of Brize Norton and a bunch of QRA planes (probably Typhoons) if it is what I'm thinking dunno about the A400.

A400M is based there too (70 and 206 squadron). The A330 MRT wouldn't fly as low as the A400, which I've often seen from my office window (flies directly over the former RAF Grove funnily enough), along with regular Chinooks.

Taken outside my flat, all day and night, every day Actually from my balcony it looks like they're passing at eye level, but I assume they're still a bit higher.

Yeah - I just know they've had the tankers up quite a bit over the last little while along with other aircraft (I suspect the 400 probably part of the same exercises) the 330 MRT was low enough for me to look up what it was on flightradar the first time heh. So I assumed the OP was being disturbed by something related to that.
