I think she came over south Essex last night about 10:00, heading ssw out of Stansted. Something going over above the cloud with a most peculiar engine note, a sort of low rumbling but with a high-pitched note in the packground, almost like a circular saw.

There's an AN-22 up a pole (sorry - up lots of poles!) at the Technik Museum in Speyer not far south of Frankfurt, well worth a visit, also for the town and cathedral. It must have been a most spectacular site as it landed at the small Flugplatz across the road from the museum.
Go to http://www.technik-museum.de/, click on Speyer and Archiv 2001. The museum also houses one of the TU-144s which is also in that Archiv.
cheers

SECURITY ISSUES
VP8 - Looking at previous postings you obviously seem to know alot about the movements of the AN22 . In view of world security issues you could be doing more harm than good. Think about what you are releasing for all to see.

Just noticed something very large, very high, and sounding very unusual (a kind of high pitched whining buzz, kind of like a cross between a turboprop and a garden strimmer) chugging across the skies overhead St Ives in Cambridgeshire. I'd estimate FL200+, heading roughly 030, noted overhead St Ives at 11.50 BST, 10.50 Z. I couldn't for the life of me identify the beast, but having looked at a photo of the An-22 in a book I have here, the plan view appears quite similar. Have I just seen (and heard!) the An-22?

I'm convinced I heard AN-22 passing over S.E London / Kent fringe at 21.30, around about the 5th Mar. She has a unique sound I couldn't compare to any other craft, something I haven't heard before or since. My description would be something along the lines of an enormous swarm of queen bees, with a deep droning bass note underneath. I'm convinced it was AN-22 as it lingered for quite a while, I don't think she's a particularly speedy aircraft.
If anyone can find that link to the sound recording I'd be most obliged.
Cheers!
