Russians at Stansted 27-7-2012 (plus a couple of others)

[andygolfer]

Olympic arrivals continued again today and I managed to pop in to see a few of them
The most interesting arrivals for me today were the 3 Russian flights, two IL96s -firstly RA-96018 in the morning, then RA-96012 mid afternoon




Then the most pleasant sight of an IL62 when RA-86468 arrived, I’ve not seen one in the air for ages so I’ll spoil you all with 3 shots of a long surviving classic airliner






Another Russian built visitor in the form of Slovak Government Tu 154 OM-BYO


And A Czech Government (or air force) A319


Final arrival before I left was this Saudi B.777 btu not sure if this had Olympic connections or not

Nice to see the old classics in there... not the easiest sky to shoot against!

it was a shame, so eay for pics yesterday but was far more difficult today, only the Czech A319 turned up during a gap in the cloud
