Talking Impressive Sight

I posted this on Sunday, but for some reason it doesn't seem to have posted. Maybe it was deleted because there was no point to it, but anyway here goes again...

This sight made my weekend (no it wasn't Anthea Turner doing naked gymnastics in my garden!. I was doing circuits on Saturday morning when I heard a continental European voice on the radio announcing an 8 mile final. I didn't recognise the callsign, so looked at the approach and saw a fantastic sight - an Antonov AN 124 in all its glory. We had just turned downwind and had a superb view of its approach and touchdown (by craning my neck).

Bloody marvellous!

Good Luck
