Liverpool departure daily

Can anyone tell me what it is that departs Liverpool JLA just before 0600 each day? It wakes me without fail. I suspect that , as the noise is not the usual propjet sound it might be eastern european in origin.
Yes I have got out of bed but it gets away before I’ve found my specs !

Thank you both for that.
I woke early this morning to try to be in position to spot the machine. Guess what?
I heard it OK , opened the curtains………… complete cloud over.
I’ll give them a ring . Thanks again.

Each morning has an arrival between 5 and 6 by a TNT operated aircraft, varying from Electra through TU204 to B752. At 0600 there s a PA-34 operated to the IOM, however since the Emerald Collapse I have seen no regular movement other than this BAR the AN26 Royal Mail EMA-IOM flight which routes overhead Wallesey VOR (WAL) and even from the ground can be distinguised.

A 0520 departure from EMA is heard around 0600 overhead LPL – believe me!

Electra or An-24 I’d guess. They both boom rather than whistle or shriek. Why don’t you ring and ask nicely? It’s amazing how much info you can get from a polite request.
I’ve got to be there at that time one day next week to parcel one of the offspring off on a school trip, so I’ll have a look anyway. Normally I just don’t do 6am, but needs must where the parental taxi service is called for.
