I think RAAF C-17A A41- 209 did a practice diversion at Aberdeen on its way. I saw it heading South as I was passing Kingswells, driving towards Aberdeen.

That could possibly have been the RAF Atlas C.1 it a couple off approaches at Aberdeen around lunchtime.
Cheers.

As Parkrunner says it was most likely the A400 you saw, they do look very similar from a distance so it's easy to confuse them, I know I've done it!
