Well, I'm heading off to nema now.

I'll report as to what, if anything, was there- with photos- when I get back in about 3 hours.

At 1040pm following post on East Midlands Aviation Group:


"Still no sign of the AN-225. And to be fair theres not been much
activity on here about it, Shame if its actually a wind up, quite
loked forward to seeing that! Unless its coming tomorrow which has
also been suggested."


We shall have to see what tomorrow brings.

Well, no AN-225 unfortunately (I stayed from 9pm to 11pm).

Though, did manage to see an Electra, and an AN-24. Also, the Lufthansa DC-10F made an appearance.

Anyway, tripping to Jessops tomorrow to look at some new gear.. then.. to EMA in the evening!

It's a good job I like the cold..
