Chartered by Balkan Airlines.

This was the first visit to Western Europe of the Mi-6 for display at the 1967 Paris Air Salon. It wears show code H-239.

Additional 'Chartered by Balkan Bulgarian Airlines' titles.

Stairway to Heaven? Well for those of us who are tremendously interested in classic airliners and our aviation heritage it is a pretty close thing!

Operating Aeroflot's scheduled service from Lagos via Tripoli and on to Moscow.

Second prototype, exhibited at the 1969 Paris Air Show.

Note early style registration

Departing for Minsk.

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.

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

Two type B-2 aircraft were leased in from Aeroflot for proving flights before LOT took delivery of their 154Ms. Hence this hybrid scheme.

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