Low aircraft over Cavan

Hello,
How could I find out what low aircraft was flying over Cavan on either Wednesday or Thursday night.
It sounded like a large propellor aircraft flying low !

Flying over I'd say;). The turbo props don't climb as high as jets and on a clear night they can sound quite loud. The prop design on that machine is from a bygone era when noise was not a factor for NIMBY's to complain about.

Lots of NATO war games on on the Atlantic these days, probably heading back to a UK base after that.

It made a quick transit stop at Mildenhall and continued to points east.
