Well, ‘Iain’ bought it for £10.49, is he a member of the Forum? If so, hopefully he can tell us what it was from!

So Barbi enters the 21st century!

Not easy to find yet! These people had a P2 for sale, so might be able to help, good luck.:)

An interesting series of photos Keltic but rescued by the skill of the pilot ‘from the jaws of defeat’!

I think you are fuelling your fear of flying phobia with this interest!:D

Edit. I understand the pilot made two attempts at landing and then diverted.

Interesting, thought it would be one of the ones advertised last year, but this seems to be a different animal. No mention of any paperwork of course!:D

Another challenger for the record has passed away, 65,000 hours, Eddie Duffard. Imagine how many log books that would need.

No trace of direct delivery to Russia, but they were licence built by Romania and are still in production in India, so possibly one of these was the supplier. It would seem to be an older photo, so the term ‘in service’ may be a misnomer, perhaps just a demonstration model?
