Hi Andy,
"Cub", not "Coaler"
Antonov An-12, a few years younger than the C-130.

Thanks Henning, I know it's not the Coaler, that's what I said.

Hi Andy,
Understood ... I meant to convey, "you're right that it's not a Coaler - it's a Cub"

Looks like a Russian equivalent of the C-130.
As I was birding a couple of days ago a pair of these went over me with one being directly overhead. Shenyang J-16 I think but not sure. There is a lot of traffic here, probably training and shake down flights out of the Shenyang factory. Not uncommon to have really loud sonic booms, sometimes half a dozen a day.
Caught this rascal "buzzing" Scilly last week
I'm going to make enquiries about attending a Russian air display, anyone got any links to such?
We have 'Navy Day' in St Petersburg every year where various warships dock in the City, very impressive if you like that kind of stuff as I do.
I did post a thread with some shots a couple of years ago and got some serious flak over it.
