Antonov 124 at Manchester

On the 9th August 2012 an Antonov 124 departed Manchester. I was lucky enough to be at the right place at the right time! It took quite a long time to taxi down to the holding point (probably being careful not to hit any aircraft on the stands) When it did eventually get onto the runway it sat there for quite a long time (around 5 minuets) before powering up its 4 engines and powering down the runway. As it sat on the runway for a long time, it caused this.

Here is a video of the Antonov 124 departing Manchester.

Here are some of the best pictures that were taken.
