Several times a week there are flights in and out of Birmingham
Airport by elderly Antonov An-12 cargo aircraft - all over 50 years
old, and looking like a Russian version of a Hercules. Not always the
same individual aircraft - they belong to various carriers and are
usually registered in Belarus or Ukraine. According to FlightRadar,
they are mainly plying between Birmingham and various destinations in
Slovakia.

Anyone got any idea what they might be carrying?

freight

and there don't seem to be any of either still flying




Well, according to FlightRadar, Tuesday's flight was an An-12BP (see
