Cactusjack,
All the tuna got fished out and they went broke. Every time it departed there used to be a series of calls to Airservices, BAC, QPol and the like from concerned citizens about 'the plane on fire over my house!' The standard response used to be, is it grey with four engines? Don't worry about it. The last AN-12 (there was a series of them) sat derelict at YBBN for a year or so gathering dust until BAC got the Sts and evicted it, complete with flat tyres and resident mouse population.

The PAE stories are many, varied and defamatory
