I think I may have just seen Antonov flyover me in Chesterfield. Big noisy thing with a T type tail.
Nothing on flight radar though.

Top secret delivery of 5g Corona masts maybe?

Is there any way to track flights other than flight radar?

I looked on FR but there was nothing there.

No doubt the same plane though.

A few months back I used to see one of these fly in and out of Prestwick around 10am. You couldn't miss the distinctive sound. Not sure what it was up to though.

Two Ilyushin’s over the UK in the last 40 minutes. Neither anywhere near Chesterfield.

Nothing showing up on FR24 re an Antonov in UK skies.

A400M went North over that area earlier, could it have been that?

It was an A400, it went over me in Chesterfield, now north of Aberdeen. It's on ADS-B Exchange here: https://tar1090.adsbexchange.com/?icao=43c5ed

Romanian crop pickers? Because despite having much of our labour force idle, we still can't pick our own food it seems.
