CCCP-86520 Aeroflot Ilyushin Il-62M approaches runway 27R at London Heathrow on Moscow flight SU242 š *** New for 2023 - hear this Aeroflot Il-62M on SoundCloud š
Soviet aviation memories from a collection of some 80 slides of Soviet-built aircraft that I've had scanned from my archives. Hope they will provide some enjoyment and nostalgia from a bygone age.
š *** New for 2023 - AUDIO MEMORIES OF THE 1980s - 'SOUND & VISION' ARCHIVES - EXTRACTED FROM MY VINTAGE AUDIO TAPES - NOW APPEARING ON SOUNDCLOUD!
You can hear this Aeroflot Il-62M - taken from my original tape recording here (check around 30mins in) soundcloud.com/sound-vision-10193594/aviation-archive-1 ***š
The sleek lines of CCCP-86520 - one of the regular fleet of Ilyushin Il-62Ms that Aeroflot used on SU241/2 from Moscow into Heathrow in the 1980s, seen approaching the threshold of runway 27R. Typical Zenith 'lighting effects' in the left of the frame š :)
CCCP-86520 c/n 1241314 Ilyushin Il-62M was delivered new to Aeroflot in 1982, so was fairly new in this photo. The aircraft passed to Aeroflot - Russian Airlines in 1993, and was renumbered RA-86520. The aircraft transferred to VIM Avia and Alpha Airlines, and then KAPO SP Gorbunova in the 1990s. Converted to an Il-62MK, the aircraft flew into the 21st century with Rossiya Airlines. It was eventually withdrawn and broken up at Moscow Domodedovo in April 2011.
Taken with a Soviet made Zenith TTL camera and 300mm lens. From an original slide, scanned with minimal digital restoration.
