On static display at the Cambrai airshow.

The clouds broke to shed some mild evening sunlight on this good-looking An-26. Also visible is a Mi-26 which sat here for several years.

A regular visitor here. Built in 1980.

Looking like a toy plane in its bright camouflage colours.

This is likely to be another An-26 that was transferred from the Air Force (possibly ex-8301) although it does not carry a serial like many of the others

Clean looking An-26 from the Serbian AF and welcome by me as it was the first I'd shot. Reworked at Rostov in 2008; three more were due to undergo the same, while four are held for spares. Operated by 138 MTAS at Batajnica

Previously unknown and very rare, this was a highlight even by Havana standards. Seen as CCCP-47333 on delivery to the Cuban AF in 4.79 and later CU-T1230 with Cubana and CU-T111 with Aerocaribbean, to whom she returned after the first Venezuelan venture in 1996. Re-reg CU-T1501 by 1.01; seen SDQ as YV-1110C 4.03 and then to Solar Cargo as YV1402. Identity crisis?!

The aircraft of Libyan Air Cargo are often engaged in paramilitary operations and many of the Antonov 26s carry serials as well - this ex-Air Force example has 8209 next to the name 'Waddan' on the nose
