Former Soviet AF An-12BP with serial CCCP-11995 was registered as such on 11 Jul'75. The CUB became RA-11995 with the Russian AF on 25 Aug'97. It was offered for sale in Nov'03, but it was only reported for the first time as EK-11007 in 4 July'07 with Phoenix Avia. That registration was cancelled on 1 Jan'09. It was reregistered to 3X-GEQ with GR Avia on 18 Jun'08, but possibly owned by Guinair International. In Aug'08, that registration was cancelled, then offered for sale with 9,325 logged flight hours. It was stored at Conakry (Guinea), but in 2014 only parts were left, so scrapped.

This An-12 was written off on 28 March 2006 on a flight from Payam Airport, Iran to Sharjah after a suspected bird-strike just after take-off. The aircraft crash landed some three miles from the airport and broke apart, luckily all 12 crew members onboard survived.

Handpainting an Antonov 24 outdoor in a desert, will not get you the best results. The old Sudan Airways colours were being removed.
