Several times a week there are flights in and out of Birmingham Airport

looking like a Russian version of a Hercules. Not always the same

registered in Belarus or Ukraine. According to FlightRadar, they are
mainly plying between Birmingham and various destinations in Slovakia.

freight

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