A question about Bears.

I'm trying to sort out some photos of airshows where I didn't write the date on the back. Does anyone know if a TU95 Bear has been at a British airshow other than RIAT in 1993.

I was at RIAT 93 and remember there was a Bear there, parked next to the B52. We are going through the photos and it was probably that but there is some evidence that it might have been taken elsewhere and I'm trying to confirm it must have been RIAT 93.

Thanks, JEM. I thought so but wanted to confirm it.

Tu-95MS "20 Black" was at Fairford IAT in 1993.

Tu-95MS "23 Black" was there the following year, along with Tu-142 "93 Black".

IAT didn't become RIAT until 1996, I believe.

\[pedant] OFF.
