Hi there,

I witnessed something strange.
I woke up at 7 o clock in the morning by a very loud
engine sound over my house. I went to the window.. but couldn´t see anything. 10 minutes later.. the same happend again... and another 10 minuts later.. again. This went on
for another one an a half hours... every 10 minutes I could hear this massive sound. When I went to work at 8:30 I could see a 747 flying obviously go-arounds extremly low
(about 1000ft over ground). On my way to the train station I could see the same machine every 10 minutes again. I last saw it when I entered the train at 9:30
That´s 2 and a half hours ?
What´s going on there... could this be a go around ?

It´s an A-380 !!!! and a 747 flying wake vortex test at EDMO

I just called the DLR, and they told me that they will know further flights one day in advance. So I will try to get some good photos the next days.... that´s so great.. I´m thrilled like a 5 year old boy on christmas

Sounds like a nightmare - being woken up repeatedly by some big fat ugly bird that you had no idea was there.

Like mixing the film Groundhog Day with alcohol.
