Dont worry everyone,it was a Hercules Transport Plane.They seem to do this quite often,i think its a regular type of thing for pilots.Its to maintain their knowledge of individual airports and their environs/peculiarities in the event that they have to be used in odd circumstamces. brother in law used to be a loader in the back of hercules and he told me that often the pilot would fly low so he could read the road signs to find out where they were.
at least until the world stops going round.
