Was that 11.30Z? PPruNe time doesn't coincide with my PC so I'm never sure what time is referred to. Haven't got anything on SBS resembling an AN-225 at 11.57z..

Yeah 11:30Z... Mmmm. I'm certain it wasnt a 747 unless the light was playing tricks. I was looking straight up at it. Often have C5's over here on a Saturday or Sunday as well as the usual civil traffic so do have something to compare....
Thanks for looking :-)

I, know, I know, but, in fairness, Nick H did state he was looking straight up at it, therefore justifying my post. I wasn't trying to be sarcastic, just trying to help!

I know
It was my bad attempt at sarcasm
He is coming out of Kiev hopefully on 8th Feb going to Narita to pick up supplies to take to Haiti

Heading into work (a large supplier to the aerospace industry based south derby) at about 7:45 this morning saw what I believe was the AN-124 climbing out of EMA. was heading approx. for TNT VOR presumably for a departure to the North.
Pretty sure it was the AN-124 judging by the high(er than AN-225) tail, blue tail colour scheme, shape and plumes of smoke. Only saw the side view so couldn't count the number of engines (or smoke trails for that matter). Gues-timate the altitude at about 3000 to 4000ft.
Could it be possible that what was seen was the same aircraft returning South a little later in the afternoon?
