Now that might be interesting for a picture session at Frankfurt-Hahn (please note NOT Frankfurt-Main airport): The Antonov An-225 will be loaded with a 190 ton generator on august 2nd. Heaviest piece of aircargo ever. Airport says they open a special spotter's area to the public. Loading starts 9am. Takeoff planned for 9.30pm.

There are rumours of this transport being delayed? True or not?

Sound's like you are right. About a one week delay. That is straight from the airport according to this source:
