The biggest aircraft in the world the AN225 which was built to carry the Russian space shuttle should be crossing the coast just west of Worthing in about an hour
Put the flight number ADB3473 in search on Flightradar24

Located outside TBJ Hangar LHR. The grey blast fence behind was originally the Concerde run pen.

I wish I'd had one of these flight trackers on my phone a week or so ago. I was on the top of the Downs just west of the Beacon with my daughter. We were admiring the view of the Weald and heard a big plane. We looked up and couldn't see anything. Then a massive grey military transporter flew past going east to west below us!

I have seen that plane. I was on an easyjet Alicante to Gatwick a few years ago. There was a medical emergency on board a couple of rows behind us. The plane descended extremely quickly into Toulouse where waiting medical staff came onto the plane, dealt with the sick passenger and took him off to hospital.
While we were on the ground I could see a Beluga airbus nearby. Amazing plane
