Here are photos of world's largest aircraft Antonov An-225 Mriya. Forum member SENIOR took these photos at Manchester Airport recently. Mriya (Мрія) means "dream" (inspiration) in Ukrainian.

Thanks for the pics. Why was this aircraft in MAN for?

Also, I believe this was the aircraft that visited ISB after the quake.
