This mystery An-12 was seen in 2019 in Libya on the pictures and on google earth, still not known any registration or construction number.
Anyone with more info ?
The same for this Antonov 26/32:

Another 'unknown' An-26 was photographed in 2019 in Libya, see https://twitter.com/bzyqer/status/12493 ... 17/photo/1
Only 1 An-26 had flown in these colors, should be ex UP-AN601 c/n 0503, also confirmed by the soviet transports database
