RUSSIAN PLANES ARE COMING TO LUTON!

This was the headline in the local Evening Post circa Jan 1969. I thought I still had the newspaper cutting somewhere but it's proving elusive.
The reality was, of course, not an invasion of MIG-15's or TU-22 bombers but a fortnightly Bourgas flight by Bulair, using their own IL-18's
and the occasional Balkan Bulgarian example as below.
Taken on 5th July 1969.
