Fantastic! Yak-42s were never common, but they're even rarer now. Well done on catching it.

Nice shots of a rare type, great catch. Interesting to see that they tweeted this (below) for the empty return flight to Spain! Wonder how much they were asking for a flight on the Yak?

Cheers
Paul

Lucky you Kevin - I was at Stansted earlier on Monday before it arrived so I missed it :mad:

I don't think many people managed pics of it as it was parked when it was hard to see so you did very well.

Thanks for posting them and making me envious
