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

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

Andy
