Busstop

I remember the same aircraft when I lived RAF Wethersfield in about 2008. There were always aircraft flying across to the airport as it was the approach path but one afternoon a different noise caused me to run outside and look, yes it was a massive lumbering 6 prop aircraft which I had never seen before. I assumed it to be something Russian because they make that sort of thing. To this day I have never been able to identify it. It didn't appear to fly particularly fast, it seemed to lumber across the sky sounding like it was struggling. I just found this Web page, not sure why it didn't appear before as I have often hunted the wierd aircraft down.
