At this time Tu-154s were infrequent visitors at Heathrow with most flights being made by Il-62

The Mil V-12 (NATO reporting name Homer) is the largest helicopter ever built and this example is the second prototype and last built of the type (sometimes incorrectly quoted as c/n 002). In 1975 it went on display at Monino without any registration (actual operational registration is unknown). In 2012 it was falsely painted as seen here, with the registration of the first prototype (which was still preserved at the MVZ im. Milya factory at Tomilino by 2018).
Both prototype V-12s outperformed their design specifications and set numerous world records which still stand today, Despite these achievements the Soviet Air Force refused to accept the helicopter and all development on the V-12 was stopped in 1974.

Only six weeks old. Operated with Aeroflot until sold in 2013.

Delivered to Aeroflot only three months earlier.

Taken from CCCP-85639, taxing out for departure to LHR.

About to touch down on Rwy 16R after its flight from SVO.

SU241 arrives from SVO on rw27R. Substituting for the more usual 310 - fine by me!

Pictured taxying out for a rw25L departure.

This magnificant helicopter is displayed at the wonderful Hermeskeil museum - quite something for me to see one in real life.

Named after pilot Yakov Moiseyev (1897-1968). To Cubana as CU-T1717 in 2014.

Parked up overnight until leaving for SVO at noon. Previously with Interflug.
