Since the pandemic the skys have been alot quieter. But when planes do go over they seem alot more noisier, like these Russian ones lol bloody noisy

I was browsing flight radar 24 earlier, and spotted the first "drone" I've ever seen on there, it was south of Bedford, pottering about above the A6.

I love the Antonovs, you can here them coming before they get over you. There was lots passing over offerton a few months back doing runs to Liverpool every other day.

You might well be right, I don’t know my helicopters very well

For anyone interested, there is a USAF drone doing surveillance over Ukraine at 53,000, it's been airborne since 22:30 yesterday, you can follow it on flightrader24 callsign FORTE10.

Drones are a game changer, I’m surprised police forces have not gone for them more, instead of a manned helicopter a drone could be up constantly, cost a lot less and do the same job.
