The cavernous cargo hold of the An-22.

The second prototype An-22 wearing Paris show code 235.

Built in 1970. Now displayed in the excellent Monino Museum.

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.

In the older days the Paris Air Show often brought very interesting Soviet transports, such as Il-76s and Antonov 22s like this one. They were not present during the show itself, but during the days before and after. CCCP-09333, seen here taxiing in after landing, with its four engines and eight contra-rotating props making an unbelievable sound, first flew in May 1972. It was withdrawn from use in the mid 1990s, and broken up for scrap at Ivanovo during 1997.
