That AN12 looks suspiciously like the ex-Vega new livery? The blue version of there’s! Is this true or am I thinking of something completely different??!! 🙂
It used to belong to Vega, LZ-VEC C/N 6344610

O.K. give you that one, same colours! Interesting that that one is LZ on the Bulgarian register and the one at PIK is EW on the Belarus register. I understood that Vega temporarily ceased operations last year but had plans to restart this year with a 737.
Interesting story below of a Vega flight carrying explosives (in 2004).

Sam,
There is also a Premier Inn & a Travel Lodge within 5 minutes of the terminal building. If you want to know the best places for photo’s, I dare say that some of the locals would be more than happy to show you around.
Have a look at www.egpk.com for info as well
Cheers mate. Will check it out, the other ones! 😀
Not looking anything like this Vega unless this is an old scheme!:confused:

Nice stuff Damian.
I thought the DC10 was away, i shot it on thursday night in poor light. Knew about the AN12, but thought it would be in standard bland white scheme 😡 my miss.
good work.
It’s usually me who misses the good ones mate, glad I got this one 🙂
Thanks for the comments everyone

Made your day today Mr. Pik!
Z-AVT, DC-10, Avient, one of three operated by them.
EW266TI, An-12, can’t seem to find that registration anywhere, is it new?:confused:

DC-10 is a cracker. Still one of my favourite, nice catch on the Anotonov.
Cheers,
