Manston June 1986.
The AN-22 which supported/transported Russian helicopters at the international championships at Castle Ashby.
Aircraft cleaned up and ready to taxi out, note the Royal Air Force large sticker on the wheel housing!!!
Taken off the side of an RAF transport vehicle, put on after all doors closed up on the Aircraft.
I often wondered what the reaction was by the ground crew after the aircraft landed at its base.
