Anyone know a Tu-95 Bear pilot in UK?

This is a long shot, but does anyone know a Tu-95 Bear pilot in the UK? I want to add a signature to a new print of a Lightning intercepting a Bear.

Historic intermission.

First off, apologies for posting “off topic” but my entry is historic and with no replies to your Bear pilot enquiry so far, it appears that the only person I might upset by posting in this thread would be yourself and you understandably maintain a relatively low profile web presence.
I realise that now we’re a lifetime and many lifestyles apart since we learnt to fly a Phantom Mites with a Mills 75 up front in a Westwood airfield cornfield but during this years’ hurricane preparedness activities in Florida, where I’ve lived since 1984, long dormant photographic records surfaced. They brought back many memories of the PMFC, Olivers and PAW’s, Sunbeam, Lambretta and Vespa scooters, Kings and County schools, Jane Carr… , the Star Inn and the Bull Hotel, Purdy’s, etc., etc.
Of course, there are more photos and reminiscences of that era, should you be interested in further discussion.
