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.

A 90 to 100 seat passenger type. All retired by 1973.

Sometimes referred to as the Stratosphera, NATO type code name 'Mystic'. The M-17 was a high altitude (70,000 feet) research and reconnaissance aircraft, first flying in 1982.

Exhibited at the June 1973 Paris Air Show wearing show code 456.

As I admire the aircraft in these photos I am left cringeing and wondering what might have been if I had been taking colour !

The prototype An-22 which first flew on 27 February 1965. It is making the type's first visit outside the Soviet Union, displayed at the 1965 Paris Air Show.
