AN225 to Doncaster Sheffield

[Teevee]

Just a heads up for those interested. According to its Facebook page, and now a local forum, the AN225 is due in to Doncaster Sheffield on 11/11. I believe the advertised arrival time is 13.40 but I guess that is subject to change!!!

[Halcyon Days]

Must be coming in to pick up the Vulcan then!!

[Teevee]

Thankfully the Vulcan is staying but I won't deny that was my first thought!:bored:

[octavian]

Oh my goodness. Not only have they advertised the date, but they've even stated a time. I really hope that Maid Marian International isn't overwhelmed with people coming to see an aeroplane arriving at the airport. I trust that the police have been advised and will take appropriate action.

Or am I being a bit cynical?

[Teevee]

Now rescheduled to the day before at 10.40 ... keeping us guessing :O

[JustOccurred2Me]

They'll announce it 15 mins before it actually happens, but don't worry - they'll be live-streaming the arrival. The stream will keep stopping and they'll miss the actual landing, but whatever.

Hopefully some lucky amateur with a camphone will catch the thing barrel-rolling on its approach :ok:

[Mr Angry from Purley]

Any idea on whats being carried?

[TCAS FAN]

Mr Angry from Purley

Maybe Syrian refugees that Russia has saved from the evil Isis? Second thoughts, he/she could probably fit into a Yak 18!

[Simplythebeast]

Last time it was there it arrived empty to convey a load of oversized mining equipment.

[Cymmon]

Any update yet?

[Teevee]

Still as per the change to arrival. Due 10/11 @ 10.40. Departure still advertised as 12/11 @12.00

[Teevee]

Back to the original 11th now! Same time!

[MATELO]

any chance of a link to website with info on.

[Teevee]

I am a bit wary of linking to other forums on here, but if you find the official Antonov225 Facebook page (via google if necessary) it is all on there. :ok:

[MrSnuggles]

Please all, point me to the pictures you take!

That bird is the ephiphany of majesty and the things I would do to take a tour in her cockpit...

[HEATHROW DIRECTOR]

Mr Snuggles, look here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zHwdcq-Ab1E

[Teevee]

On the ground, just waiting for the photos of the barrel roll to appear!:O

[Teevee]

Well, no barrel roll but got permission to do a low pass first approach before going around and landing. Sent the assembled throng into 7th heaven by all accounts!

[HEATHROW DIRECTOR]

Any piccies anyone?

[Teevee]

Found this on Youtube.


Focus is out at the end but the main event is pretty good.

Fabulous...

[kcockayne]

I saw it over flying , once. Even from 32,000 feet below it looked an awesome sight !

Morning,

Thought I'd chuck a couple of mine from the arrival and departure up.
