I saw it fly quite low from the airport direction towards the city centre before returning to the airport and nearly touching down before ascending to a high altitude and making off in a north westerly direction. Why would they fly such a plane over the city? E/ Error.

Didn't see anything Saturday, but last Sunday Mrs H & I were driving up the Aire Valley at 17.50ish when we couldn't fail to see a grey Hercules at about 200 feet over Cononley, going in the direction of Keighley. I assumed it was something to do with TA exercises, but we both remarked that it was "a funny time" to see it.
