    Did anybody else hear a really loud low plane overnight?

    Sounded really old fashioned.

    I heard something like that, around 6am in Kiltimagh. Had forgotten about it until saw this post :confused:

    Cavok Air Antonov 12 at 27000ft propeller plane which makes a shed load of noise.

    Heard that also. Sounded like it was very low. Is it a cargo plane?

    Yes, it is it's a cargo plane initially designed for the Soviet Air Force, and it uses four turboprop engines. As far as I'm aware, the first models of this type of aircraft started flying in 1957 although I'm unsure of the exact age of the one that flew over.
