Thanks for your comments all, they are much appreciated. 🙂

WD, i didnt notice that until your pointed it out. I have got a picture of her sister ship (HB-IMJ) from one of my recent LHR visits, but it hasnt got the bump on the nose.

Hand, i agree an ugly aircraft, but i was very happy to see it, being the first time i had ever seen an AN-74 up close. 🙂
