Loving Stansted's recent love-in with the IL-76.  Here are my shots of the first Turkmenistan flight and today's visit by Silk Way Airlines

Lovely shots Denis, that's a big lump of metal for sure. The Turkmenistan departed from BZZ on the 22nd and flew within 5 miles of me here in Devizes probably en route back to STN

Graham,

As far as I know the third Turkmen flight last week and the 4th this coming week are operating direct Ashgabat to Brize.

Cheers

Denis.

I read about the 4th arrival somewhere but I can't find the thread. Anyone know when it's due please

Keith,

If it's keeping to the original times given at the outset of the series of flights then it's due on Wed 30th at 0930.  You'll be able to see it coming from a long way off on the radar-sites though just to be sure!

Denis.
