That yellow speck on the nose is a Totota Hilux!!!
No such problem when it operated from Farnborough, although they did manage to break the towbar one day (or was that the An124?).
Now where can you get an Antonov towbar in Europe at short notice?
By the way, the taxiway in the photo was designed for B47s and B52s so it's a bt wider than normal!!
