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

Lovely set Andy the banking Gulfy is my pick

[AlanP]

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

[Mike]

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

[mbo570]

A great set..especially the last one!

[LondonEye]

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.
