The RAF plane has been spotted across the county in recent days.
Mystery surrounds a low flying plane which has been spotted across County Derry in recent days.
The sight of the aircraft which has been observed flying at low altitude over homes in towns and villages within the county has prompted residents to take to social media.
Some puzzled householders took to Facebook to share images and videos of the plane which some said was ‘passing over houses quite low and loud’ and ‘appeared to be at less than 1,000 feet'.
The aircraft has now been confirmed to be the RAF plane Atlas C.1 A400M.
The LXX Spn arrived in the North on Thursday from RAF Brize Norton.
According to the RAF, they are reportedly conducting low-level training.
One commenter on Facebook stated: “It’s the RAF practising low level flight in the A400. Nothing to worry about.”
The crew are expected to depart from Aldergrove Belfast around 6pm on Friday evening.
