I wasn't aware of this thread so I was puzzled on Tuesday evening (9th Jan) when I heard a very loud Prop Jet at 22.15. I even ventured outside but couldn't see anything but the noise was very different to the usual ATP of West Atlantic which usually passes overhead on the Aberdeen / East Midlands run around this time. A quick look at Flight Radar 24 showed it to be an AN12-B of Cavok routing Doncaster / Malmo. As reported previously the routing was rather strange, heading more or less due north from Doncaster before a right turn over Teesside. Altitude when crossing the coast was 23,500.
Another one following the same route yesterday evening, over Ingleby Barwick at 18.20 then coasted out over Hartlepool, eventually climbing to 27,000 ft. Do any of our Doncaster Spotters have any info on what the cargo is ?.
Up-Date. Apparently they are moving automotive parts, don't know yet if they are being moved to or from Doncaster, come on "Donny Spotters", help us out here !!.
