ex F-WWXV

Built as a Be-30 in 1970, converted by MAP TMZ to Be-32 in 1971 and stored for 17 years at the factory airfield at Taganrog before being overhauled and modernised with TVD-10B turboprops. Displayed at the 1993 Paris airshow, hence number '308' still on tail here. Moscow Airways ordered 50 but ceased operations before any were built. In 1995 it was further modified to Be-32K with PT6A engines to increase western appeal. After not being taken up by Yakutia, since 2021 preserved at Taganrog-Yuzhny in period Aeroflot colours with CCCP prefix only
