Falsely painted as one of the Mi-8 prototypes, CCCP-06181 but it was actually 33 red of the Soviet Air Force.

This Hip-C is in reality '33 red' of the Soviet Army Aviation. It was manufactured in1972 and operated by 440 obvp at Stendal-Borstel. After the Soviet withdrawl from East Germany it was transferred to the Technik Museum Speyerand is preserved in these fake markings with the starboard side undergoing a revamping of the paint scheme (port side was finished and looked pristine).

Falsely painted as CCCP-06181 (a Mi-8 prototype), but true identity is ex-33 red of the Soviet Air Force.

This V-8AP, an early Mi-8 prototype, was presumably taken in June 1965 when it was on its way to the air show at Le Bourget, just like many other aircraft did back in the day. Its c/n is thought to be 0203. The registration CCCP-06181 was later falsely painted on c/n 3135 (preserved at the Technik Museum Speyer) and on c/n 0604 (preserved at Monino). It was also re-used by a Mi-26.
