A RUSSIAN INVASION !!!!
Over the weekend a mini invasion took place with an AN-124 and IL-76 turning up. The IL-76 departed on Sunday but the AN-124 was still present so it seemed like a good idea to see if the AN-124 might leave today.
Volga-Dnepr are quite regular visitors in and around the UK and have been chartered by the MOD for support for the operations around the globe, however to my knowledge they are not that regular visitors to RAF Mildenhall. I do not know where these originated from and what they bought into Mildenhall nevertheless they made a welcome visitor.
A big surprise was the return of an IL-76 and a different one from Sunday, the sun was not in the most ideal location for its arrival but acceptable results where gained. However on its departure being empty it positively leapt into the air and was pretty high by the time it reached runway 11 threshold.
