AN-12's run of of BHX also, a couple of weeks ago the EMA dep was overhead of Coventry where I live @ around 10,000ft when the departing BHX flight crossed the house @ around 5000ft both heading South, it resulted in 2 x AN-12's in one small area of sky, not often that happens!
Used to hear them operating in/out of STN when I was a kid (I lived at the time, and still live about 8 miles out from the runway, so about 2000ft for us)
Beautiful pieces of kit, but didn't half make the windows rattle, although the same can be said of some of FX's MD11s!
