🎄 HAPPY CHRISTMAS & NEW YEAR to all my Aviation Friends on FLICKR :) 🎄

Soviet aviation memories from a collection of some 80 slides of Soviet-built aircraft that I've had scanned from my archives.
One of Balkan Bulgarian's finest roars away from runway 27L at London Heathrow, back in 1984, in the form of Tupolev Tu-154B LZ-BTF. The aircraft was still carrying the 1970s style livery, which was superseded in the 1980s by a more modern style livery (as seen in the comments section below :)

😎 Looking forward to providing more enjoyment and nostalgia from a bygone age in 2024!
