Landed 04L at HEL today and what looked like a DC8-70 (? the engine converted model) was parked off piste to the right of the threshold.

It looked as if it may have been there a while.

Anyone know anything about it.

Maybe my a/c recognition is not good and it is something else entirely.

Could well be VP-BHS which has been reported stored there since last year.

HT.

Thanks for that, I live on the extended centreline of 22L and think I probably saw it land.

One tends to notice these things since, like the odd MD11 or large Antonov (125?), the engine note is different.
