Burnsie   10 #1 Posted August 19, 2021 Hi.  About once a week I hear low flying planes late at night (well, around 10pm). I can hear it now, circling back around every few minutes or so.  Anyone else heard it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Burnsie   10 #3 Posted August 19, 2021 I noticed it happen probably June the first time, probably the 4th time I've noticed now. Very odd Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Maybe Yup, NPAS have four fixed wing aircraft based at Doncaster (like this one - https://www.flickr.com/photos/62940958@N05/50128165098), the advantage of these being that they're more capable so can be deployed for much longer periods of time and cover a far greater area - they're also cheaper to operate and maintain than helicopters.
