I've shot a pretty wide range of interesting subjects in that spot over the years, before or after attention in the hangar, but this must be one of the most unusual, rating as Southend's only ever Tupolev visitor. Originally Balkan's LZ-TUS in 9.78 and converted to corporate configuration around 1995; sometimes used as personal transport of the famous chess champion Gary Kasparov. To RusLine 8.06 and Kosmos 6.09; broken up at Nizhniy Novgorod in 3.16 This photo is copyright © Richard Vandervord, and may not be used or published in any way without permission.
