I did see a Russian looking (ie it had the lower front gunner/nav/bomb aimer position) four engine prop plane on the ramp opp T2 as I came in from CDG last night. I only just noticed it as we went past, and I couldn't get a good look. May have been it or another Russian, possibly an AN12?

The AN22 arrived friday to take a spare engine to Lanzarote for a grounded First choice 757. It returned today with the u/s engine and stays till wednesday. It is the only airworthy civilian AN22, It is operated by ADB. AWESOME

OK (some of you).. this'll make your hearts ache. Friend of mine - one the the Heathrow ATCOs still at London Terminal Control has an interest in flying in as many different types of a/c as possible. I think he's way over 300 and a few years ago he managed to wangle his way on board an An-22 flying from Germany to Russia for a "new type". He told the crew what he did... held a PPL... had his own aeroplane... flew balloons, etc.. and they let him fly the thing manually for a while!!!

After a two day lay-over it departed at about midday. I was in a local park with the brats and heard it trundle past in the distance. ( Damm! why did I take today off.) Had a quick look aroud it yesterday and I must say that it looks FANTASTIC!!!. It could have done with a lick of paint though.
Hears a quick question: Is it the only one flying?. I know that it's the only civil one but what about the military?.
Please bring it back to Manchester!!!

<<Any news on the sick FCA 757 (?) it took a new engine out to?>>
Urrhhh.. How can you think of them both at the same time? One is a real aeroplane; the other is a boring, modern-day tin tube!
