NASA Globemaster?

Wrong tail, nothing like it 😳

It’s an AN124, but can’t see the airline.

@nickc

Thanks for the clue 🙂

Maximus Air Cargo AN-124

ah ace, well done! 😀

Flightradar24 is often useful for stuff like that.
Always good when STWiki comes up trumps, though. (No, not that Trump!)

And to back up my last post, I could hear a low-flying jet a few minutes ago while out in the kitchen, which is unusual these days, as RAF Lyneham is no longer operational, so I got my phone out and opened Flightradar24 to see what had just flown over, and it was one of those big Antonov Maximus Air Cargo jets!
Quite why it’s using a South-North flight path over Chippenham is anyone’s guess, it’s not a usual route.

I suspect its flown from a major military transport hub in the Cotswolds and is en route to the Carribean….

Ummm…

A small margin of error, I think.
I didn’t think to actually look at its track to see where it had departed from, I was in the middle of getting something to eat at the time.
