This winter has seen Antonov 12s about the UK again, does anyone know how many are left flying?

I thought they were flying all year and not just winter.

Yes they fly all year but seems to be more this winter especially out of Doncaster, just wondered how many were still about.

We see them regularly into Eindhoven and Liege. Difficult to know just how many are still flying. At a rough guess I'd say probably more than a hundred or so. However, only a handful of these will be seen in European skies.

Difficult to establish exact number but thought to be around 130 in service presently.

Today's drone of the four Ivchenkos has just been provided by CVK7079 UR-CKM en route from Ghardaia, as usual, to Vatry, which is less usual.
