Heard, not seen 3 AN12s in last 2 days. All from Gothenburg to Doncaster. Part of some hurricane aid effort maybe?.

Seem to be ever more common, we had six An-12 flights in the other Sunday/Monday.

Currently two Cavok Air and one Motorsich bird on the apron at Finningley. The Motorsich one is doing another trip in and out early tomorrow I am told.

Would love to know what they're carrying but I bet it's something mundane!

Also an A300 freighter parked there at the moment.

Certainly most welcome - a unique aircraft with a distinctive sound.

Yep Motorsich has just gone past us at 26,000 feet - looks like a return to Gothenberg.

Isn’t it car parts? Sure there’s another thread on here.

Just heard one go over here in Essex. Looks like it is a Ukraine one from Tangier to Gothenburg.

Just had one over Macclesfield at 20,000 feet. Left Doncaster, but destination not known on FR24

Luckily for me, it did a loop and came back over me in a patch of blue sky. Looked and sounded lovely. UK-CKL.
