Heard a Big Prop Noise Last Night......
Discussion
So I'd just got into bed last night when I heard a loud noise of a prop plane, but it just kept getting louder and louder so I fired up my phone only to find I had an Antonov AN-12 flying over my house. I'm not that up on my planes but it's certainly not a plane I've seen in the UK before:
This was the one (UR-CAK)

The flight path has is dissapearing somewhere South of Greece, I wonder where it was off to? Wish it had been light so I could have seen it.

Robby, I'm not in the business although I have a background as an aircraft technician in the RN a very long time ago! I just happen to "spot" stuff when I walk the dogs around the perimeter fence!
I'm still interested in the unusual, and EMA is quite good for that as we get the Antonov in regularly, the 224 at least once a year, a Middle Eastern nations military Hercules has been here the last few days and left this morning (it's in regularly, too), RAF aircraft such a s Voyager and C17 pop in or over fly and the Rolls Royce Spitfire is based here.
