Strange flight path AN12 Rooshian A/c
Being bored and having little to do whilst waiting for some folk to ring me I turned on the Flight-radar program, looking around my area I noticed a large A/c without any call-sign, so following the system it told me this was a Russian AN 12 big 4 prop job, coming into the UK via Newcastle it then flew in a big semi circle past Bolton, to the O/H Manchester down through the stoke area and on to possibly Nottingham Airport, where it disappeared from the screen so presumed to have landed there.
Why would this a/c take such a longer route to the presumed landing at Nottinham when it could have shortened by many miles and less crowded airspace had it arrived in Notts via the Lincoln coast, do these thing carry cameras, does anyone ever check such things.
