Photo Comment

There was a large Russian contingent at the Avalon 95 airshow, including the prototype, and so far only, of the Il 96M variant. This was a stretched version with P&W 2237 engines and western avionics. Quite an attractive design visually, it never took off (so to speak!). Currently in storage at Zhukovsky, less engines.
