Tupolev? Da.
Sounds like computer jargon, but is it the open cockpit on the USB...?

Agree.
SAL-J is Scottish Aviation Limited - Jetstream
Turbomeca Astazou powered version.
IIRC the thumb wheels were to bring the rpm up slowly from ground to flight range because if you pushed the small levers too quickly the engine would over temp.

Great challenge Graeme. It was the cockpit surround that caused me problems. Here is the next, somewhat older than yours.

The photographer has taken the snap looking through a large porthole?
Is he in the passenger cabin?

Another Russian mate?

This one was not Russian. As regards the view from the passenger cabin I would say from a crew compartment.

Not a bomber or British. It was French and operated from water.
