Did Barbara see a phantom plane over Rossett?

Regular visitors and contributors will know the popularity of our Weird [and wonderful] collection of local ghost stories but one of the most unusual is the occasional sighting of phantom planes [Ghost plane buzzed street and 'My brush with tragic WWII pilot '].
Over night, Barbara Lloyd from Wrexham has been in touch claiming to have seen a Hercules plane appear low in the sky from nowhere. It's a description we've had reported to us several times. Barbara made this sighting yesterday on the Wrexham-Chester border and asks whether anyone else saw it.
"...I saw a plane when driving home from Chester to Wrexham about 4.15pm in broad sunny daylight. It appeared first just beyond Dodleston - out of nowhere flying very low and then again as I was turning onto the A483 in Rossett.
"It was only after arriving home that I realised it hadn't made a sound. I looked for the shape on the web and found it - it was a Hercules bomber - dark grey and olive green - it was that close. Did anyone else see it?"
Can you help - and do you believe it could be a phantom plane?
Note. On and off we've had many comments shared about this type of sighting over the last few years.

I can confirm that I too saw the plane. I was coming off the A483 at the Rossett/LLay turnoff. It flew right over my head. I was heading towards Llay and followed the plane as it flew off towards Hope mountain and out of site.
