Evergreen Supertanker at Prestwick 20-12-06

Fantastic collection of shots. The An-12 look great with the prop vortices. Well done!

I know what the supertanker is, but why is it in the UK???

Thanks

The Supertanker is like a Combi, quick change freighter or fire fighter. Not sure whether it has ever operated as a fire fighter in earnest or anywhere else for that matter, but the DC-10 fire tanker seems to have taken No. 1 position in the ‘heavy’ hitting fire brigade being operational in California .:)

This should explain it…..
