Antonov 12 ??
 

Twice in the last week I've heard what sounded like a heavy Turboprop passing overhead,I was quick enough to have a look on FR24 to see it was a Ukranian AN12.The 1st was Dublin to Prague flying at about 13000' at 330kts.The 2nd was Prague to Dublin flying at about 12000' at 290kts.Is this a regular route ? When I've heard Turboprops in the past I've alway assumed it was USAF or RAF Hercules/Atlas traffic.Mildenhall and Woodbridge are quite close to here.

AN-12s (and the odd AN-26) are pretty common "tramp" freighter visitors to the UK. I've heard a couple overfly here in the last couple of days, both Ukrainian. Weather too grotty to see them!

Thanks. There was an AN124 into Wattisham recently returning AAC helicopters from the USA.

We sometimes have up to three a day operating in/out of Maastricht at present. Love the sound!

Cavok Air AN-12s are virtually a daily overfly here near Orange in France, en route from Ghardaia in Algeria most frequently to Eindhoven.

Yesterday we had the added interest of SNECMA/Bristol Hercules engines as the last airworthy Nord Noratlas bumbled its way from Aix-en-Provence to Grenoble where it's displaying this week end.

Just walking across Kenley aerodrome and one, UR-CAK, is grumbling it's way eastward to Dover. Magnificent moon rise they must be getting a terrific view!

Snap! The rising moon was stunning and the evocative sound of the Russkie aircraft lumbering overhead added to the atmosphere.

The Motor Sich aircraft often overfly LBA en-route from Doncaster to Gothenburg.
