Claire Linford said: “I thought it was a train?” and added: “Like the noise of an old piston aircraft sputtering to start up like in war movies! But no way it was coming from an aircraft at the airport,” while Mark Gooch said: “Yes like a machine gun or something.”
Conor Kitching wrote: “I can’t hear bangs but I can hear a low pitch humming sound.”
Caroline Wallis posted: “Whatever it was, it happened Wednesday night too at around the same time. Woke us up both nights.”
