The Il-114 was designed as a replacement for the An-24/26, first flying in 1990 with expectations of hundreds being built. However the type vies with the Dassault Mecure for the least-produced commercial aircraft with only ten being completed to date, therefore being much less prolific than the similar-looking ATP, itself not a huge success. This was the first Tashkent-produced example and after storage went into service in 2002 with St Petersburg-based Vyborg as RA-91014; wfu at Pskov 2010/2014 and due to be scrapped

First flew 13.4.81 as a Tu-144D and set several records in 1983. After fitment of new engines, made 32 flights under the NASA High Speed Research Program, the last on 11.2.98. Reportedly sold to a Texas businessman for $11m but remains wfu at Zhukovsky

Otherwise described as an IL-76/976, this AWACS-style version was first delivered in 1989

First flown after restoration by the Russian Air Force veteran association on 13.11.92 from Tushino, sadly this 1952-built Li-2 crashed near Myachkovo airport on 26.6.04, by then regisitered RA-1300K

Newly completed at this time and not so often seen in these original colours as she passed to Kras Air after only a year. More recently became one of Red Wings' first aircraft (5.07)

Apparently the c/n plate on this bomber navigation trainer reads ' 6350705' suggesting that a digit may have been omitted as this does not fit the factory sequence

First reported 1979 and still in use at the time of this photo for ozone research. Cannibalised for RA-77114 and broken up 2001

First flying in 1994, only about a dozen of this Garrett TPE331-powered development of the An-28 have been built so far, despite optimistic predictions by Antonov. This one has since served with Vietnam Air Services, Hangard in Mongolia (where it had a nose-wheel accident) and Layang Layang at Seletar

This extraordinary aircraft was one of two converted in 1981 from tanker versions of the Myasishchev M-4 / 3M 'Bison' strategic bomber to convey large space launchers and similar payloads including the Buran space-shuttle; in all more than 150 loads were carried to the Baikonur launch site
