The picture is small, but that's the only one that's available. At first I thought it was a 747, but the nose is different? Is it Russian?

Yes, it is an Antonov; but it is Ukranian not Russian.

The AN124 Ruslan (the aircraft in your picture) has only got 4 engines, the AN-225 has 6 engines.


Obviously a Virgin Atlantic fan!!!

Its an AN-124, I don't think Ukraine even has 225's. (I could be totally wrong though.)

Antonov is a Ukrainian company. Even in Communist times of the USSR, all 124s and 225s were built in Kyiv.

(Before somebody docks me for saying "225" as pural, there's one and a half.  Smile)
