Antonov AN-74 at Birmingham (UR-74026). Very rare sight on these shores - strange aircraft with large engines mounted on top of the wings, presumably to prevent ingress of stones and dirt when operating off rough strips.
This one brought in a Ukranian football team to play Leicester City tonight and is due out to Zaporizhia tomorrow at 1500 local

Close-ups of the interior of this aircraft at 4:53 of this video which shows some amazing,derelict old Soviet aircraft
