The RAF has been taking advantage of quiet skies and runways to conduct a training exercise in Manchester this afternoon.
A number of Manchester Evening News readers have been in touch to say they spotted a large military aircraft landing and taking off at Manchester Airport and doing loops in the surrounding area for several hours.
With clear sunny skies and many at home because of the coronavirus lockdown, people across Greater Manchester reported seeing the plane.
Inquiries reveal it was a C-17 Globemaster from RAF Brize Norton in Oxfordshire.
It left its base at 2.45pm this afternoon and headed directly north, performing a number of 'touch and go' manoeuvres at Manchester Airport and then heading out in different directions.
