    Damn! I requested they didn't release my anonymous donation of squillions but seems they did after all.

    Correct - there is a second unfinished AN225 located at a different location to where the AN225 was destroyed.

    Thank you for that D DB. I bet the reason they never let the Chinese complete it was there would be a thousand copies of her being sold around the world. Cynical? Moi? You betcha.

    Plus, it would have only lasted until someone got it home when the shonky screws broke..

    Thanks again.

    The location hasn't been revealed with Antonov saying that it is due to defence industrial programs and is therefore of the interests of national security. I can only assume that hanger is owned by the Ukranian Defence or their contractors.

    See this at 2:30

    I do too.

    It'll be interesting to see what they do, if they've scrapped it, use it to rebuild the spare, or use the spare to rebuild the original. Hopefully which ever way they go, they manage to see an AN225 flying again.
