4 jet high wing plane headed West over M6 Thellwall 3:15pm?

Looked huge from a distance.

Then as I went over the viaduct, looked further away and still huge. Headed for Liverpool Speke or Airbus? Didn't look like a 380 or Beluga?

Thought military cargo, i.e. a Herc with Jets in profile, really can't work out what I saw or what website to track it in retrospect?

Any ideas, thanks,

C-17?

10/10 and thanks for the quick response!

I can sleep safe tonight.

I was wondering, if Putin, post BoJo being made PM was about to have a pre-emptive strike at Fiddlers Ferry Power station, despite it being off the bars these days; in the cold war it was due a Russian air burst nuclear bomb!

Blimey fella. You need to chill out a bit, try some perspective.

Same plane flew over my office in Leeds around 230pm. Looked to be heading towards Leeds Bradford?

Where is a WHOOOOOSH! C-17 Parrot when you need one. Sorry, didn't mean my light sarcasm to be read as such an obfuscation.

Still, big funking plane! Wasn't the only one looking as traffic slowed!

Quite a bit of military stuff goes through JLA, they go over our house on occasion.

Didn't bomb Fiddlers Ferry then from the photo, SSE will have to suck up the decommissioning charge after all!
