Yes Toby,

An occasional visitor to EGCC is an Volpar (or whatever its called) An-124. I don't think it visits that often however and it usually only stays for a short time. :think:

They certainly do Toby, I have seen a few AN124's bringing and taking out cargo, Balkan use TU-154's, but recently they have been using A320's and some other cargo carriers use the AN-12's.
