Now, an An-124 is a hugely expensive beast to bring to an airshow without a reason. Is there a reason and is it bringing in something or taking something out?
Speculation on a postcard please.

a Quote from Yeovilton Facebook:
It won't be based at yeovilton but will be making detour to say hello on it's way back to it's home base.

A couple of days ago they said Friday and Saturday were going to be a wash out and today it says it will be light rain showers on Friday and light rain on Saturday so it has improved in the last couple of days.

It's a shame yet again things are pulling out or changing at the last moment. (Rafale demo for one).
