Is there a website that will tell me what planes have landed at specific airports?

On my drive to work a saw an interesting looking plane flying into East Midlands. Was too far down the motorway to see what it was, but am intrigued to find out.

Thanks,

Sopwith Camel

No it was a bit bigger than that!

Am guessing it was some sort of freighter. Not the usual 737 that goes in & out of EMA.

Maybe it was a Sopwith Camel that was nearer than you thought?

Perchy, that's not a Camel, it's a Sopwith Pup.

Some digging around on FlightRadar or similar might be worthwhile.
Can you describe the plane?
How many engines? Jet or prop? Mounted where? T-tail or not? Swept wings? Wingtips? etc

Might be an F-15 Beagle?
