BBC Derby website says landed at 0400, the photos on the site are from last year.
It's really pouring it down here and i'm not brave enough to venture outside and take photos.

I was hoping for a late afternoon departure! But, as luck would have it, it's not to be... (for now anyway!)

Rob,
The web site says "The world's largest plane lands at East Midlands Airport at 04:00 Thursday." ie early tomorrow morning.
My info is coming from a spotter's group: no An-225 until tonight but one An-124 in now (departing 1710) and another one An-124 arriving 1625.
Pity it is such poor weather and using runway 09, otherwise could nip up the road to the A46/A606 junction which seems to be the point at which they turn finals to runway 27 (based on my experience of flights into NEMA).

Should read things a little better...
I'm not sure if they have different aproaches at night due to noise but I see a lot more over here at night than the day.

I've heard from a friend at ATC that she is indeed due in at 0400, and will stay around 24 hours. You've got plenty of time to see her!
I may trip over tonight to see the 124. Or may just go tomorrow.
I'll report with photos!
Dan.

There was an 124 took of on Saturday, I was marshalling at Donington and scared the feck out of me. Looks like it was about to fall out of the bloody sky.

If it arrives as expected at 0400, there will be mention in various places.
I will post info at around 0900 if arrival confirmed. And if it's there I'll be off later to have a look. Just 21 miles away.
But for those of you who want to check progress - check

Enter ADB1266 as flight number.
