What is it?????

[mrloudly]

Large four engined turboprop, light grey colour, Similar size/layout to Herc but with what look like two strange (blue) vertical antennae on either side of the tail. (looks like triple fins if you look quickly).

I'm Junc 1 A14, it's just gone over heading North East. Is it Russian?

Cheers

It will be the AN22 and has just landed at East Midlands Airport as we speak............. It is the worlds largest prop driven aircraft..

It is a contra rotating turbo prop and was originally designed to carry inter continental balistic missiles externally in a container mounted on the roof......... hence the 2 fins on either side as you could not have a central fin
will pop a pic up for you that I took last week when it was in........... it is megga rare as there is only one flying civil wise and possibly one military..
