Cor that takes me back to my yoof. No big fences on Farnborough road, you could just park on the verge with no issues. I remember waiting for hours for something to emerge from the An-225, think it was a Su-26 in the end. The An-22 was a shock, was at home in Reading when it came droning over, still the only one I have ever seen.Happy days.
Just watched the video of its arrival, jez that was some approach and landing!

Aah yes I recall that An22 very well. I was asked if I wanted to stick around and see a big Cock and well it wasnt quite what I had been expecting!
A terrible approach but great to see (and hear!!) one finally. Great stuff.

The An225 was incredibly impressive, brilliant from outside as you seem to be, I was there as well, but the bottom picture is printed back to front, as that was the bank out after take off, over what used to be quite a tree covered area. You can tell by the spacings on the serials if you look at the picture above.
As previously reported the big Cock brought in a spare engine for the An124 after its aborted take off on the first Sunday in 1988 when it went pop in that Condor moment!
