Lucky beggar getting a brace of Antonovs. Like the angle on M-MOMO too.

Lovely set Andy the banking Gulfy is my pick

Good catch with the AN-12's Andy but agree with Paul, the Gulfstream banking is the stand out shot for me

Nice set Andy, numbers 2, 4 & 11 for me.

A great set..especially the last one!

Nice set as normal, Andy.

Made me think how times have changed. For years, I had only seen a handful of An12. Now, for an old aircraft, they are such regular visitors, yet the "newer" jets Tupolev and Ilyushin have virtually disappeared. Funny old world.

Pete.

Great shots and the weather looked stunning

thanks for the comments everybody, here's one more of the 2nd An.12 departing with a trail of smoke!....
