Tu 154 due at LGW?

Sorry to bring this one back up, but thought it may be of interest given today’s events (Tupolev crash) that the Pulkovo plane mentioned here was the one involved in the crash today, reg RA-85185. 🙁

Shame we never get to see any Soviet types down here

have Balkan started a Summer Charter flight into LGW?

Cheers for info guys i know what Balkan look liked but have never seen Pulkovo before.

The other TU154 was probably Pulkovo

First thing I thought of too…

May I just add.

I used to enjoy seeing the Aeroflot 154’s at Heathrow, when I lived down that way.

Stunning looking Aircraft. 😉

…and this is a Pulkovo 154!

This is the Balkan Tu154, if that helps anyone:

The other TU154 was probably Pulkovo

this second example was white with blue cheatline along windows and a cyrillic-lettering title.

Well, that only describes every airline that has a hybrid Aeroflot livery. Can’t be much more then say 200 airlines? 😀

Tu 154s at Gatwick

Yes, there was brightly coloured Tu 154 arrived LGW yesterday and “docked” at South Terminal right below my office window (arrived approx 17:25) – I really must start taking my digicam in every day 😮 .

Another Tu 154 was parked on one of the remote stands this morning when I was aboard FlyBe’s BE903 taxiing out for takeoff on the easterly runway this morning – this second example was white with blue cheatline along windows and a cyrillic-lettering title.

Sorry, not really into commercials, so can’t recognise the colour schemes of the less common airline vsiitors to LGW.
