As I came out of my office to get my lunch, I heared a mighty humm and spotted 2 planes in a loose formation...

I sprinted to my car to get my camera... and behold...

One crappy shot...

... of an Antonov An-22 in flight... yeay...  ;D

The second plane flew as slow as the Antonov, but I think it's just a jet... maybe even British Airways...

These superprops sure make an amazing noise...

Cheers,

Nice catch! It had departed RAF Brize Norton a little earlier.

Any info on that second plane? It might have been a coincidence, but they seemed to be teaming up...

Looks like a standard BA flight to me, just happening to be using the same track probably. I've seen it happen before.
