Working into the evening on reassembling the last flying Tu-142M that served with INAS 312 "Albatross" to become the second such museum at Kolkata after the one at Visakhapatnam. The outermost sections of the wings have not been attached, and the nacelles for the massive Kuznetsov NK-12MP turboprop engines are being readied for attachment. The reassembly was no easy task. This was the progress prior to the pandemic lockdown in March 2020. This photo is copyright © Arjun Sarup, and may not be used or published in any way without permission.
