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.
LOT Poland Tupolev Tu-134A SP-LHD - one of the regular fleet of Tupolev Tu-134As that LOT used on their flights into Heathrow, seen approaching the threshold of runway 28L, sporting the stylish 1980s livery that had just been adopted by the airline. Note the glazed nose that a lot of Soviet aircraft carried - as many of the aircraft were deemed to have a potential military use as well - especially the Ilyushin Il-76s which sometimes sported blanked off rear gun turrets!
A wide-bodied Air Canada TriStar is next in line for take off.
SP-LHD c/n 48400 'Janusz Kusocinski' Tupolev Tu-134A was delivered new to LOT in June 1976, and flew with the airline into the post-Eastern Bloc era, only being retired in 1994 after 18 years of service. The aircraft registration was cancelled 09Dec1996, removed to Warsaw 13Oct1997 and to Wroclaw LZN technical School, scrapped Sep 2002.
