I remember the low level take-off/single engine turn displays etc from those mad Dutchmen in their F-27 from years ago.....
Here's the last ever UK display from nearly 20 years ago....

Yes but those Friendships were so loud you couldn't hear anything else on the apron when they started up.
Lovely, wasn't it.Even better with a Viscount - twice as many Darts.
But managed to get a few flights on Heralds,HS748 and also the friendship..nothing sounds quite like a dart used to love the noise just as the prop starts to coarsen.
It seemed like the engine note couldn't get any higher - and then it did. Music to the ear of any aviation mad kid of the 60s and 70s.

OK then stop press…another interesting aircraft in BHX today!
Also looks Russian, slight anhedral again. Apart from that it looks like the spitting image of a Herc, albeit a bit slimmer, and with more of the wheels visible due to longer oleos. White upper fuselage, grey lower, with a very obvious matt black anti-glare panel under the windscreen just shouts Antonov or similar to me. Can't give any more detail as I can only see it nose on.
Over to you Eric...
