Mystery Ilyushin IL-14's at Heathrow (1960's)

For some years now, a very welcome column has been published in the local paper for the Hounslow area detailing aspects of the history of Heathrow airport. Each issue has a half page feature, covering things like spotters’ memories of the Queen’s Building roof terrace, and visits by special aircraft. It’s great to see the general press dedicating some serious page space to this kind of thing. The articles go into some depth and aren’t the usual press garbage.

This week’s article, not yet listed on the website, shows a pair of Aeroflot Il-14’s on the apron sometime in the mid-60’s. One is CCCP-41817, the other is anonymous. The author is appealing for any info that anyone can come up with regards the circumstances and date of thier visit, and the ID of the second aircraft. Just thought I’d put the word out to see if any of you could help out…

Guess the second one was a IL-14T, CCCP-61704
They both were at LHR Nov 26, 1963 ???
