Not related to the south atlantic, or 29 Sqn RAF, but the "Bear-D" (Tu-95RTS) from 392nd ODRAP were always there. Both photos taken from Kipelovo Airbase FB:

Royal Navy Phantom FG.1 'R-011' of 892 NAS escorting Tu-95RTs of 392 ODRAP (Kipelovo AFB) over Atlantic. Circa 1978. Archive of Evgeniy Kalinin (392 ODRAP).

RAF Phantom FG.1 XV583 'B' of No. 111 Sqd. (AFB Leuchars) escorting Tu-95RTs of 392 ODRAP (Kipelovo AFB) over North Atlantic. 1970s. Archive of Evgeniy Kalinin (392 ODRAP).
