It is indeed, Tredders! I remember there was a bit of a barney going on, probably about where to go or what to do next, and he was a bit pi**ed. I don't know who the chap is next to Duncan Simpson, but he obviously had his hands full.
The other two, if we take a look at photo 10/12 (or SBAC 1988_7) are, on the left, navigator Yuri Ermakov, and on the right, MiG test pilot Roman Taskaev.
Yuri was one of that select band of special navigator/escorts tasked with accompanying military flights out of the country, or foreign military flights into Russia, very often with the pickup in Copenhagen. I believe it was Anatoli in the single seater, Roman and Yuri in the -UB.
Anatoli stepped out at Le Bourget the following year, and I believe yet again over the Crimea, after which he switched to the Sukhoi 27, whether by design or just part of the job at Lii I dont know. One of the two pilots who had the nasty at Fairford in '93 was his wingman when he was in the air force based at Damgarten.
Roman is well-known for his (FAI) record climb in a MiG-29 to 27,460 meters (90,092 feet) at Aerodrome Akhtubinsk in 1995. There was also something involving the MiG-AT...
I must apologise for the quality of the photos, but they are ages old scans at 300 dpi, before I knew what that meant, and also carried an incorrect email address. I also didn't want to hijack the thread with a dozen photos!
best wishes,
Alan
p.s. I owned the helmet 'Toli was wearing at Le Bourget, but it found a new and more suitable home just last year.
