Default Antonov aircraft at Birmingham Airport

I would not know but remember one being used to ship kind of makeshift
surgical units built into sort of portacabins or shipping containers a few
years ago.
Also these have been used to transport space modules and all sorts, but
Birmingham is hardy French Guiana... ahem.

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?
