The currently silent lockdown skies above Glasgow have been shattered following another visit by another huge RAF military aircraft this morning.
An RAF Airbus A400M Atlas has again been spotted performing manoeuvres above the city and the vicinity of Glasgow Airport.
The massive four-engine turboprop plane, which operates as a tactical airlifter to deliver supplies or personnel, operates out of RAF Brize Norton in Oxfordshire.
Costing in the region of €150 million per unit, it has been engaging in essential training above the city on more than one occasion over the past few weeks - amid speculation that it was involved in the coronavirus effort in some way, shape or form.
And that has seen the plane performing circuits above the city and 'touch and go' landings at Glasgow Airport, taking advantage of the near deserted runway.
The 'touch and go' landing involves landing on a runway and taking off again without coming to a full stop, with the pilot then usually circling the airport in a 'circuit' pattern to repeat the maneuver.
Doing so allows for many landings to be practiced in a short time period.
The same RAF Airbus A400M Atlas was performing similar manoeuvres last night before retuning to the skies above Glasgow this morning - with its flight plans showing it has travelled as far as Fintry in the north and Beith today on its 'circuit'.
The Atlas joins another huge RAF plane, a C-17 Globemaster aircraft, in being spotted above the city as it carried out the 'necessary and routine flights'.
Did you spot it this morning?
