Chazndave   10 #1 Posted October 4, 2018 Horrendous noise! Definitely not a helicopter. A definite plane noise! Woke the entire house! Very frightening actually.  We aren't on the Doncaster airport flight path.  I even panicked it was a plane about to crash!!!!  Any idea where I could find out what was going on?
