Does anyone know if the An-225 landed at East midlands (EGNX) today at around 12:50pm. Becasue there was one hell of a large aircraft flying into the airport via the Pigot STAR to runway 27. Im not sure if it was the An-225 because it was about 5-6 miles away, and it was hard to make out any details apart from size and the multiple landing gear from that distance.

Sorry no photo because i was at school when i saw it.

Any info would help  :)

I don't think so as I haven't heard anything about it coming back, I'd say it may have been the An124 instead as that is a more regular sight in the UK.

Thats what i was thinking it could be, but it just looked a lot bigger than a An-224.

I work just next to East Mids and I didn't see it. There is an Antonov 124 in and out all the time these days and quite a few 747s (cargo) though.
