dark light

Something loud at 3am !

Does anyone know what flew out of Manchester at 3/4am this morning ? I thought it sounded like one of Antonov’s finest by the sound of the props but i could be wrong and i will get me coat !

When it woke me up all i thought it was AN-22 because it has been over my way before when it did land at Manchester and it has such a distinctive sound…..big Shack !
Pity it did not come here again but i have been in the one preserved at Speyer…….which was nice 😀

The An22 may well have flown over the Manchester area in the early hours, but it certainly didn’t visit MAN.

Or if it did, no-one noticed it. And how likely is that?

skudupnorth,

I Had my SBS on around that time:

508029 ADB3570 UR-09307 AN22 18375 25000 11/12/2008 02:34:44

Most likely the AN22 like tenthije pointed out – Apart from that there wasn’t much around, except a Helicopter.

Possibly the An-22 that was announced a few days ago?
