As mentioned a few days ago, the airport visits were particular highlights of the organised trip I went on to Russia 20 years ago this week. As such, I make no apology for the fact there will be multiple posts from the Domodedovo visit.

At the time, Domodedovo still had lots of Soviet-era airliners active, but it also boasted large storage areas for aircraft that had been withdrawn from use as well as maintenance facilities. It felt like you could spend all day there and still miss stuff. Sadly, we only had about 90 minutes, and, it still being an active airport, we did not have the option to roam entirely freely, so it was a case of grabbing what you could from where you could - some of it through bus windows.

20 years ago this week I was on an organised trip to Russia, primarily taking in the Gelendzhik Gidroaviasalon but with the additional promise of both active military and civilian action on top. Fair to say, it was an eventful trip (we won't go there).

In hindsight, the visits to Sheremetyevo and Domodedovo Airports were particular highlights. This set comes from the former.

Now, the previous day's RAF Marham Families Day DID witness the final full RAF Canberra flying display, it was not the final time the type would put in an appearance at an event.

RAF Wyton Families Day 2006 was held on this day 20 years ago. It featured not one but TWO different Canberras!

The organisers were also extremely good at picking up bootlegging flybys from RAF aircraft passing nearby. Over the course of the day C-17, C-130, Tornado GR4, Harrier GR7 and Dominie all fitted into that category!
