Good evening skytrain,

I've had a pretty hectic day too, just managed a late break an hour or so ago, and just got back, I see that LM has answered your question (Thanks mate). I have to go at about 7:30, but now you're here, I don't think it'll last that long!

Thanks for the vote of confidence Sinco...I was pretty hopeful myself on this one! Unfortunately someone else had other ideas. Well done RegDep

Thats a shame...had this feeling I'd seen it on Aerofiles. Oh well, time for that fishing rod! Russian?

And evening to you to David....hope all is well with you and your good lady?

The holiday was fantastic.
Took over 650 pictures, so plenty to see along the way.
There might even be a challenge in there somewhere.

Very interesting!

Is that spindley looking landing gear fixed? Are there two closed cockpits? If so, either it's bigger than it looks or the crew are reclined quite a lot. As for those two circular blobs ???

Fixed gear and two cockpits.

Blimey I'm honoured - the Stig is looking for clues....!!!!!

Hi David....well this is interesting. I have found it in a book with the caption BOK-7 and on the internet with caption BOK-15. I believe the latter is correct, so I'll say BOK-15!

I was wondering about that one, but ruled it out because LM had said his had fixed gear

Sinco, must admit I didn't find anything to say whether or not it had fixed undercarriage, although in light of its purpose one would expect it to have retractable gear. The only info I have on it is pretty limited (having said that I haven't bothered to translate anything on it from Russian websites), but the picture matches perfectly, both from my book and from a certain website!
