What a very special treat to witness ANTONOV AN22A UR09307 take off from Manchester.

This bird is older than me and she still looks splendid.

She is running on 4 Turboprop engines that emits the distinctive sound.

On board is a new Trent engine for Thomas Cook Airbus A330243 GOMYT that suffered an engine blowout during takeoff in Frank Pais Intl Holguin Cuba.

Construction number 043481244
ADSHEX 508029
First flight 1974

lookout for the extended footage soon when i put them together.

Enjoy!!!
