This Il-62 was registered to Interflug in March 1971 but served for the latter part of its time with the airline as a ground trainer at SXF. After retirement it was converted to a restaurant at Groß Manchow but had been dismantled and moved to the Luftfahrt und Technik Museumspark Merseburg by the Spring of 2003. Note the silver band around the fuselage, just forward of the engines, this is where the entire tail section was sawed off to facilitate the transport to Merseburg.
