G'day Karlark. Any chance we're still in the land of Sukhoi?

Correction

In a PM Graeme had commented that the aircraft I posted at Post #930 as the Russian built EF-140 the aircraft that was the subject of my challenge was not the same aircraft. He is in fact correct the aircraft at Post #930 was the EF-140R a different version of the 140. The EF-140R was powered by two Kimov VK-1 engines derivatives fron the RR Nene engine. The Challenge aircraft was the Prototype Russian EF-140 with two MikalinAM-TKRD engines as shown here:-

Interesting Mel. Sadly, I thought it was the Ilyushin IL-22 when I saw it last night.

But I think I've nailed Karlak's!

Sukhoi Su-24...

Yes Noyade, Su-24.
Perhaps the evolution of the earlier posted S.6 mock up and T.6 prototype.

Noyade's at the helm !

On another note, my assumption on the type 140 with the Nene engines was based on the drawings of the 2 prototypes... it is possible that the source has them mislabeled;
