Aeroflot at Greenham Common

I was not sure where to put this – although this is a “civil” airliner (Aeroflot I think were considered quasi military in those days anyway), this is taken at Greenham Common as part of the Open Skies verification programme. It had brought in a team of Russian inspectors who as part of their visit were taken to a British pub to try out a pint.

Nice pic. Must have had a lot of ‘verifiers’ that day. 😉

Thank you Grey Area. The photo is taken from the road that ran by the base – wonderful opportunities in those days.

It’s an Aeroflot IL62M.

It belongs in here. 🙂
