Yes! Beautiful sight, clear as anything and trailing nicely. For some reason it was about 20 miles ahead of its position on FR24.
My 49th IL-76, and the first for nearly 3 years. Many of mine were Iraqi Airways/Air Force, which were regular visitors to LHR in the 1980s.

Great sight as it trailed nicely in clear blue sky.

T-MLAT plotting aircraft on FR24 always seem to lag some way behind their actual position. The delay is probably associated with the 'triangulation' necessary to fix their position. Delta B767-300s are another example of position lag.
Just a shame this particular IL-76 didn't have a more inspiring colour scheme. Still nice to catch though.
