Locals were left in awe yesterday evening when a huge military aircraft roared low over homes before heading towards Glasgow Airport.

Video footage sent to The Glasgow Times shows the massive plane banking as it pulls in towards the airport after flying over properties in Linwood, with residents seen stopping to watch it pass.

Several residents took to social media to report hearing the aircraft before seeing it, describing it as much louder than a regular jet and saying it appeared to be flying low over their homes.

It is unclear from the footage which country’s military the aircraft belongs to, and no information about its flight path or purpose has yet been confirmed.

Our reader told us that it flew overhead at around 7.40pm last night.
